Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 May 2004
246 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the reason dietary allowance has been terminated in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15096/04]
View answerThe South Western Area Health Board was contacted regarding this case and has advised that payment of a diet supplement to the person concerned has not been terminated but was temporarily suspended in the course of a periodic review of diet supplement in the area in question. The review involved forms being issued to a number of diet supplement recipients. In the present case, the form was not returned in sufficient time to enable payment to continue without interruption.
The review has now been completed and payment of the supplement, including arrears, will be put back into payment next week.
