126 Mr. Lowry asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she will ensure that a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary receives early sanction under the special housing aid scheme; the reason for a four year waiting list; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23070/06]
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. This 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 this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
