The general rules and policy relating to the ex gratia payment scheme have been set out in previous parliamentary questions. These can be made available to the Deputy should he require them.

As the Health Service Executive has responsibility for administering the ex gratia scheme, inquiries relating to individual cases are referred to the parliamentary affairs division of the executive. My Department has asked the HSE to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
