I presume the Deputy is referring to the high level working group which has been established by the Health Service Executive with representatives from IMPACT and SIPTU with a view to establishing a standardised high quality home help service which will benefit both clientele and staff. The work of this group concerns operational matters and the group was not set up with a remit to report to me directly. However the Deputy may be assured that my Department will be kept fully informed of developments in this matter by the Health Service Executive.
