67 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Health the number and location of organisations providing both emergency and planned respite care places and placements in each health board area for young people under 18 years of age with a physical disability. [13084/96]

Limerick East): The provision of respite care services is a matter for the health boards. The boards have been asked to supply information on the services which they provide or which they fund through section 65 grants. This information is currently being correlated. I will forward the information to the Deputy as soon as all the boards have replied.
