Written answers

Minister for Social Protection

The Programme for Government commits the Government to develop a ‘Carers Guarantee’ proposal that will provide a core basket of services to carers across the country, regardless of where they live. This commitment comes under the remit of the Department of Health and is matter for my colleague the Minister for Health.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
