Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2005
243 Mr. Kehoe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the position of an application for special housing aid for the elderly for a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; if the medical information submitted assisted in bringing forward the person’s application; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30133/05]
View answerThe Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. That includes responsibility for the provision of the housing aid scheme for the elderly, on behalf of the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Accordingly, the Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
