3138. Deputy Jen Cummins asked the Minister for Health the reason people assessed as requiring home support are being refused or delayed due to funding being exhausted; the immediate action that will be taken to ensure that no person living with dementia is left without the care they have been assessed as needing; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [59809/26]

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