Question 302: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if, further to a previous parliamentary question and an appeal in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny, she will review the case and grant an increase in the subvention being awarded. [31639/06]

The issue of an appeal relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. The HSE has discretion to pay more than the maximum rate of subvention relative to an individual's level of dependency in a case, for example, where personal funds are exhausted. The application of these provisions in an individual case is a matter for the HSE in the context of meeting increasing demands for subvention.

The Department has been advised by the HSE that this case went through the appeals procedure and that the person is in receipt of the maximum rate of enhanced subvention allowed by that area.
