Ceist:252 Mr. G. Reynolds asked the Minister for Health and Children if the assistance of a personal assistant will be renewed to a person (details supplied) in County Sligo for a further year. [24871/99]
Written Answers. - Personal Assistance Service.
The provision of services, including personal assistance services, to people with disabilities in any individual case is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer, North-Western Health Board with a request that he examine the query and reply directly to the Deputy, as a matter of urgency.
If the Deputy's question relates specifically to a personal assistant made available through the use of the FÁS community employment scheme, than it is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
