Written Answers. - Health Board Allowances.
The provision of foster care allowance is a matter for the health boards. Responsibility for the provision of foster care allowance in this case rests with the South-Eastern Health Board. My Department has therefore asked the chief executive officer of the South-Eastern Health Board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and to reply to him directly.
