Minister for Health (Mr. Howlin)

Payment of disabled person's maintenance allowance in any individual case is a matter for the health board concerned. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the Chief Executive Officer, Mid-Western Health Board with a request that he examine the matter and reply direct to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
