Written Answers. - Home Help Service.

Michael Ring

Question:

373 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children if the number of people that were providing home help has changed over the past six months in the Western Health Board region; the number of people previously employed as home helps who have lost their jobs; the number of people, working part-time or full-time as home helps, who have had their hours reduced; the number who have had their hours increased; the total number of home help hours now being provided for the elderly in County Mayo; if new home help staff have been recruited in the past six months; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22686/02]

Responsibility for the employment of and provision of services by home helps rests with the appropriate employing agency. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the Western Health Board to investigate the matters raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
