Vol. 524 No. 5
260 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason domiciliary care allowance was refused in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Carlow in view of the hardship being experienced by her in the care of her son. [23296/00]
The assessment of entitlement to a domiciliary care allowance in any individual case is the responsibility of the relevant health board. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer of the South Eastern Health Board with a request that he examine the query and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
