Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

——where approval is required by the Department of Finance, the Department of Health and Children and the Health Service Executive. The legislation will need to be changed to give effect to the Tánaiste's commitment.

I have raised the following matter on a previous occasion. When will sections of the Children Act that relate to parental supervision orders, in particular sections 111, 112, and community sanctions, sections 115 and 132, that have not yet commenced, be implemented?

For the past three months the Fine Gael spokesperson on health and children, Deputy Twomey, has sought clarification arising from a parliamentary question in July 2005 on conflicting figures given by the Tánaiste about a cutback of 2 million home help hours. The Tánaiste promised to clarify that information on 20 July. Perhaps she will indicate when that information will be provided?
