Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health regarding the home care package, if, where the hours allocated have been divided between spouses and the care provider is not in a position to fill one of the client's hours, that client can have their hours reallocated to another care provider who would be able to fill the hours; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 419 and 420 together.
As these are service matters they have been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
