493. Deputy Seán Conlan asked the Minister for Health the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cavan has not received a reply in respect of a home support appeal, despite being informed that she would receive a reply within six weeks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18564/15]

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
