View answerThe Department of Health is responsible for setting the policy regarding the provision of health services, including those for people with disabilities and/or mental health issues and these services are provided through the HSE. The policy having regard to the payment of Foster Care Allowances comes under the remit of my colleague Deputy Katherine Zappone, Minister for Children and Youth Affairs.
