Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 July 2004
212 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Health and Children when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo who has applied for heating under the special housing aid for the elderly scheme, can expect a person to call to assess their needs; and when heating will be installed in their house. [20875/04]
View answerAs 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 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.
