Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 March 2004
301 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if a domiciliary allowance will be awarded in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7542/04]
View answerThe assessment of entitlement to and payment of the domiciliary care allowance in any individual case is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, a copy of the Deputy's question has been forwarded to the chief executive officer, Eastern Regional Health Authority, with a request that he examine the case and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
302 Mr. Ardagh asked the Minister for Health and Children if the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12 will be re-examined in order that the South Western Area Health Board will fund their treatment in the UK as requested by their parents, and that a more substantive reply be requested from the health board on this matter. [7551/04]
View answerResponsibility for the provision of care and treatment of the named individual rests with the Eastern Regional Health Authority. My Department has therefore asked the regional chief executive to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply to him directly.
