304. Deputy Gerry Adams asked the Minister for Health if there is a person here in receipt of a direct payment from his Department or the HSE for the purchase of home care under the intensive home care package. [48796/19]

I would like to advise that officials from the Department of Health sought to liaise with the Deputy's office in order to seek clarification around the matters raised in order to provide a satisfactory answer. On this occasion, we were not able to obtain the information we sought. If the Deputy would like to raise the matter again and also provide additional information, the Department would be happy to provide an answer to his question.
