View answer303 Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Health and Children if she is dealing as an historic case with the issue of retrospective payment of domiciliary care allowance in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford whose application was late due to the fact that they were unaware of entitlement; if a decision has been made in this case; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 247 and 303 together.
As the Deputy's questions relate to service matters I have arranged for the questions to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
