Question:

139. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Health if there is a specific protocol in place within the Health Service Executive to provide extra support to recently bereaved spouses and their dependent children in cases where they are already in receipt of medical, disability or respite supports; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
