Diet supplements are provided for under the supplementary welfare allowance scheme which is administered on my behalf by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive.

The Dublin Mid-Leinster region of the executive has advised that it has no record of an application for diet supplement from the person concerned. If the person concerned wishes to apply he should contact the community welfare officer at his local health centre who will assess his situation and determine his entitlement.
