Written Answers. - Health Supplies.

Michael Finucane

Ceist:

136 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Health whether patients in private geriatric nursing homes who hold a medical card are eligible for the provision of incontinence pads free; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that, in the Mid-Western Board area, patients have to pay for these pads; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Under existing arrangements it is a matter for each health board to decide whether patients with medical cards in private nursing homes receive free incontinence pads.
