Catherine Connolly

Ceist:

455. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Health the funding made available for home help and home care packages for the community health care organisation, CHO, area 2 comprising Galway, Mayo and Roscommon in each of the past five years; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this area has spent in excess of those funds which were provided; the amount of those excesses; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the decision has now been taken to bring the level of service and expenditure into equilibrium with allocated budgets, notwithstanding that patients and families are suffering as a result of insufficient home help and home care packages or that patients cannot be discharged from hospital; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
