Written Answers. - Home Help Service.

Richard Bruton

Ceist:

330 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Health and Children the estimated total spent on home help services. [23180/00]

Expenditure by the health boards and the Eastern Regional Health Authority on the home help services in the current year is estimated at £35.4 million. This figure includes an additional £10.4 million which I made available in 2000 to bring the minimum rate of payment for all home helps up to £4.40 per hour from 1 April 2000.
