John Perry
Question:451 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if a security pendant will be made available to a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13015/03]
Written Answers. - Security of the Elderly.
The purpose of the scheme of community support for older people is to improve the security and social support of vulnerable older people. This funding is provided by way of grant aid to voluntary groups and organisations that have undertaken to identify those elderly people in need of assistance under the scheme. Under the terms of the scheme, grant aid is available towards the once-off costs of purchase and/or installation of small-scale physical security equipment and socially monitored alarm systems.
It is expected that the scheme for 2003 will be advertised in July in the national and local papers. For the Deputys information following is a list of organisations funded under the scheme in the north-western region in 2002, any of which will be happy to apply for assistance on behalf of individuals in that area.
