46 Mr. D'Arcy asked the Minister for Health whether he has received recent reports from voluntary agencies which provide placement for young homeless children on the numbers who are appropriately placed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

53 Mr. McCartan asked the Minister for Health if he has received a report from the Eastern Health Board on the recent case of a 15 year old homeless Dublin boy who was left without supervised accommodation for over a month; the steps, if any, which have been taken to deal with this case and with the general problems highlighted by the experience of this boy; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 46 and 53 together.
