Another thing under the portfolio of the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Daly, is the home help situation. We speak about it here a great deal. I have one particular case involving a 71 year old lady with a terminal illness. She has been approved for only five hours per week since October but it is not up and running. If the Minister does not mind, I will send him the details. Obviously, given that she has a terminal illness, this is very important.
