The Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive which was established on 1 January 2005. Under this Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Accordingly, my Department has requested the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy outlining the number of persons who have applied for repayment of charges for publicly funded long-term residential care.
