416 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children if respite arrangements will be continued in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny; and if the number of hours for home help will be increased in view of the circumstances of the case. [18633/03]
The provision of health related services, including home support services, to people with physical and or sensory disabilities is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority and the health boards in the first instance. 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 matter and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
