Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 February 2005
125 Mr. P. Breen asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if a nursing home subvention will be offered to a person (details supplied) in County Clare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4396/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage, deliver or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the provision of nursing home subvention in County Clare. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the executive's mid-western area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
