Ceisteanna (515)

Fergus O'Dowd

Ceist:

515. Deputy Fergus O'Dowd asked the Minister for Health the community health organisations within the State which offer electricity subsidies to patients who suffer from COPD or similar illnesses which result in excessive use of oxygen machines and so on, in particular, in cases in which those persons are in low-income households; the reason a disparity appears to remain across different CHOs which clearly demonstrates that there is a postcode advantage in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
