Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

On behalf of the Government, I acknowledge that there is a deficit in the availability of respite care for those who need it. From our constituency clinics, we all appreciate the extent to which a day or two a week or a week or two a year can be a lifeline for families and carers who need a break themselves. It is something I am conscious of and it will be discussed at the Cabinet subcommittee on health tomorrow.
