549 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will backdate an entitlement to a domiciliary care allowance for a person (details supplied) in County Cork from the date of the child's birth. [22038/01]
The assessment of entitlement and payment of the 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 of the Southern Health Board with a request that he examine the query and reply directly to the Deputy as a matter of urgency.
