Vol. 547 No. 1
592 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will examine the case of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; if he will contact the Western Health Board in this regard and have this 190.46 waived. [2018/02]
As the Deputy is aware, the special housing aid scheme for the elderly is operated by the health boards and the Eastern Regional Health Authority on behalf of the Department of the Environment and Local Government. My Department has made inquiries of the Western Health Board and has been informed that the board has decided to carry out the improvements requested without any charge to the applicant. Tenders are currently being sought in this regard and he will be notified when a contractor has been selected.
