Ceist:

423 Mr. G. Murphy asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a claim in relation to the health repayment scheme was submitted on behalf of a person (details supplied); if this is a widespread practice; the location where the funding will be lodged; if the health board has access to the funding; and the authority by which the health board took over this function.

Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

The Health Service Executive has responsibility for administering the Repayment Scheme and the information sought by the Deputy relates to matters within the area of responsibility of the Executive. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued to the Deputy.
