John Halligan
Ceist:191. Deputy John Halligan asked the Minister for Health the reason the grant available for cancer patients to recoup monies paid for wigs varies so radically from county to county with the maximum grant, as per the Health Service Executive website, available being €635 per year and the HSE in Waterford only granting a maximum of €220 twice per year with a six month interim period between claims; his views on whether the grant available for such items should be standard throughout the country; if he will review the inconsistencies within the system; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
