217 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person, details supplied, in County Cork is not receiving a mobility allowance due to his inability to walk with any great comfort. [9816/01]
The payment of mobility allowance in any individual case is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer, Southern Health Board, with a request that he examine the query and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
