142 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the reason for the delay in having home subvention sanctioned for applicants; and if she will make a statement on the general matter and on the case of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal. [9352/05]
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 and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the provision of health services in County Donegal. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer for the Executive's north western area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
