156 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork had their application refused for a disabled drivers and disabled passengers grant towards a mechanical car. [15495/07]

The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
