Vol. 547 No. 1
611 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children the work which will be approved for a person (details supplied) in County Mayo under the special housing aid for the elderly scheme; and if the approval will be extended to cover roof repairs. [2113/02]
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 asked the chief executive officer of the Western Health Board to investigate this case and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
