Vol. 526 No. 6
246 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Health and Children the measures he will take to deal with the serious delays in the operation of special housing aid scheme for the elderly in the north Tipperary area where waiting lists are unacceptably long. [27224/00]
As the Deputy is aware, the housing aid scheme for the elderly in north Tipperary is administered by the Mid-Western Health Board on behalf of the Department of Environment and Local Government. I have asked the chief executive officer of the Mid-Western Health Board to investigate this matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
