Question:305 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of families attending hospitals in the United Kingdom for cystic fibrosis treatment who have received financial assistance or total subsidy towards travel and other expenses from his Department; if this extends to accompanying parents in all cases; if there are income guidelines set for these subsidies and assistances; and if his Department will approve payments to persons (details supplied) in Dublin 11 who are accompanying their daughter for two weeks assessment to London which hopefully will be the first of many trips for successful treatment.
