Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 October 2009
168 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of domiciliary care allowance applications received in each of the past five years to date; the number granted, refused or pending; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [36618/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraSince 1st April 2009 new applicants for Domiciliary Care Allowance apply to the Department of Social and Family Affairs. Prior to this date application was made to the Health Service Executive. Therefore I have arranged for the Deputy's question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
