Under the commitment in the programme for Government regarding the care of the elderly, may I outline two cases to the Taoiseach? There has been a debate on this today. These two cases came across my desk in the past ten days. One concerns a 93 year old woman discharged to the care of a single middle-aged son with half an hour a day for four days a week. Another case involves a 93 year old woman being discharged to a pensioner son on his own with half an hour morning and evening four days a week.
