Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Health the number of persons on priority waiting lists for home help hours in the north Leitrim area; the number of hours which would be necessary to provide home help to these persons; the number of home helps employed by the HSE in the area; and the number of hours of home help they are providing now.

Amharc ar fhreagra469. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Health if the allocation of home help hours in the north Leitrim area is based on need and not on budgetary constraints. [14757/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 468 and 469 together.
As these are service matters they have been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
