Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. Callely)

As the Deputy will be aware, the housing aid scheme for the elderly in the Mayo area is operated by the Western Health Board on behalf of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him as a matter of urgency.
