Amharc ar fhreagra499. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health if he will provide, in tabular form, by local health office or county, the number of persons with disabilities that have applied for a personal assistant service and are currently waiting to be provided with one; and the numbers that are waiting up to six; from six plus to12; and 12 plus months. [34103/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 497 and 499 together.
As the Deputy's questions relate to service matters, I have arranged for the questions to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
