212. Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason an application for a domiciliary care allowance for a person (details supplied) in Dublin 24 has yet to be decided upon; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14185/98]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowan): The assessment of entitlement to a domiciliary care allowance in any individual case is a matter for the relevant health board. Accordingly, the Deputy's question has been referred to the chief executive officer, Eastern Health Board with a request that he examine the query and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
