Vol. 551 No. 2
321 Dr. O'Hanlon asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of personal assistants employed to assist independent living in the community in each community care area in each health board; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10224/02]
The information requested by the Deputy is not routinely collected by my Department. Therefore, my Department has asked the chief executive officers of the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards to investigate the issue and forward the information directly to the Deputy, as a matter of urgency.
