Amharc ar fhreagra1451. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Health the number of persons in each county waiting for assessment and reassessment for home help hours and for additional home help hours; the number who have been approved but are on a waiting list; the length of time they have been waiting in each case in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1450 and 1451 together.
As these are service matters I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
