Question:463 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Health and Children if his attention has been drawn to the massive cutbacks of the Ashtree House respite care centre at Ballinasloe, County Galway, and to the fact that only eight children now receive a limited service of one to four nights respite a month; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that there are 26 children on the waiting list; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
