Vol. 535 No. 1
274 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason for the delay in granting a domiciliary care allowance to a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if the allowance will be back dated to the birth date of this person's child. [11363/01]
The assessment of entitlement and payment of the domiciliary care 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 of the South-Eastern Health Board with a request that he examine the query and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
