Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

What is the reason behind the 19% reduction in the number of home help hours in Dublin West in the period between January and April 2017 relative to the same period in 2016? The Minister referred to trends, demographics and ad hocplanning. In the past 12 months the increase in the number last year has been reversed. There has been a significant decrease this year. That contradicts Government policy which is that the threshold should remain the same or increase. It deserves an explanation.
