Vol. 506 No. 2
245 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children the additional assistance, if any, which will be given to a person (details supplied) in Dublin 11 who cares for her husband who has Alzheimer's disease; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15013/99]
The provision of support services to persons such as those referred to by the Deputy, is a matter for the local health board, in this case the Eastern Health Board. I have asked the chief executive officer of the Eastern Health Board to examine this case and to respond directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
