Vol. 417 No. 3

Written Answers. - Patient Transfer Application.

Tony Gregory

Ceist:

72 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Health if, in view of the very special circumstances of a disabled invalid (details supplied) in Dublin 7 who has no income whatever and who wishes to be transferred to a nursing home in Dublin city nearer to his family and friends in order to overcome sentimental loneliness, his Department will bear the additional cost of £40 per week.

This is a matter, in the first instance, for the Eastern Health Board. I have asked the board to investigate the case and, as soon as their report is available, I will communicate with the Deputy.
