Vol. 448 No. 8
37 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Health the expenditure from his Department on disabled person's maintenance allowance, infectious diseases maintenance allowance, domiciliary care allowance and blind welfare allowance; the number of recipients and expenditure in each category; and a breakdown by county in each case. [2991/95]
Limerick East): The information requested by the Deputy on the disabled person's maintenance allowance scheme, the infectious diseases maintenance allowance scheme, the domiciliary care allowance scheme and the blind welfare allowance scheme as at 31 December 1994 is listed in the following tables. However, as county boundaries do not in all cases correspond with local health board community care areas under which these schemes are administered, it is not possible to provide all the information on a county basis.
