Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 December 2004
115 Mr. Allen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will investigate the case of a person (details supplied) in County Cork; when a final decision will be made on the application; and if the domiciliary care allowance will be awarded from the date that their child was diagnosed as autistic. [33188/04]
View answerThe assessment of entitlement to and payment of the domiciliary care allowance is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, a copy of the Deputy's question has been forwarded to the chief executive officer of the Southern Health Board with a request that he examine the query and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
