asked the Minister for Local Government if he will state in respect of each health authority what proportion of rate poundage was referable to the cost of health services in each financial year from 1952-53 to 1959-60, inclusive.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Health Services: Rate Poundage.
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
