Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Health the spend to date in 2019 on home help hours and home care packages by CHO in tabular form; the projected total end of year spend for 2019; the allocation of the breakdown by region; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As these are service matters I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
