Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
801 Mr. Morgan asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Louth has been refused domiciliary care allowance by North Eastern Health Board; the reason this was not given; the reason for the refusal when requested; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21692/04]
View answerThe assessment of entitlement to and payment of the domiciliary care allowance in any individual case, including the appeals process, is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, a copy of the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer, North Eastern Health Board, with a request that he examine the case and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
