The Minister for Justice and Equality is concerned, as is the Garda Commissioner, about the ongoing level...
- Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2012)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy should deal with the reality. The target in the 2012 HSE service plan was to deliver 10.7 million home help hours to 50,000 people with a budget of €200 million. The reduction will see 10.3 million hours delivered to them. There will be a reduction of €8 million in the budget for the service between now and the end of the year because the money is not there.

- Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2012)
Enda Kenny: The review also takes into account where hours are allocated to individuals who are not as needy as those who require medical services on a regular basis. They speak for themselves. The Minister must make adjustments within reality and the changes made to structure of the health service will deliver savings that will lessen the impact on front line services. That is why the ongoing work in...

That opportunity is to be given. The agreement to do so was signed yesterday. One question will be asked of the...
