513. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Health the arrangements in place for replacement home care support for a person (details supplied), when the home care provider is on holidays or sick leave; if there are different arrangements for cover in cases in which support is being provided directly by HSE staff compared with the situation in cases in which the service is provided through an agency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10751/20]

As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
