Finian McGrath
Ceist:201 Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Health and Children the additional financial provisions provided by her Department from the 2008 Estimates and budget for the care and support costs for voluntary housing associations providing sheltered housing for older people, following the previous finance provided for an additional €1 million for the combined years of 2006 and 2007 that she previously announced as part of the care package for older people in November 2005; her views on whether the current financial commitment of less than €2 million for the whole country or €1 per day for an older person living in sheltered housing represents a real commitment providing support for the care costs in sheltered housing; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
