Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 November 2004
140 Mr. English asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will allocate additional funding, independent of the funding for the elderly, for home help in regard to parents of triplets (details supplied) in County Meath; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28245/04]
View answerThe provision of home help services, and any matters relating to such provision within its functional area, is a matter for the relevant health board or the Eastern Regional Health Authority, ERHA. In the case of Collon, County Meath, this responsibility lies with the North Eastern Health Board. In the circumstances my Department has requested the chief executive officer of the North Eastern Health Board to reply direct to the Deputy.
