asked the Minister for Health the number of persons under 16 years in each health boards region whose parents are in receipt of the allowance of £25 per month.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Care of Handicapped Children Allowance.
20.
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report. The information is in respect of the 31st March, 1974, the latest date for which it is available, and relates to the number of children in respect of whom an allowance for the domiciliary care of handicapped children was being paid.
Following is the statement:
