Ceisteanna (643)

Bernard Allen

Ceist:

824 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork is only receiving €83 per week subvention for their nursing home accommodation at Ballincollig; the reason they have now, through their brother-in-law been forced to sell their house to pay part of the nursing home fees; and the reason they are not getting an increased subvention to pay the nursing home fees.

As the Deputy will be aware, the provision of health services in the Cork area is, in the first instance, the responsibility of the Southern Health Board. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply direct to him as a matter of urgency.
