Ceist:

Deputy Marc MacSharry asked the Minister for Health if it is now mandatory for the next-of-kin of adults with special needs resident in HSE institutions who have managed their personal finances over the years to hand over the management of these finances to the HSE service providers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister of State at the Department of Health

The particular issue raised by the Deputy is a service matter for the Health Service Executive (HSE). Accordingly I have arranged for the Deputy's question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
