Question 243: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if she will investigate a situation where the health repayment scheme in Tralee is sending letters to applicants under the certificate of entitlement to extract a grant of representation without signing those letters; if she deems this to be inappropriate; and if she will investigate the situation of a letter sent to a person (details supplied) in County Cork with no personal signature on the letter and no explanation as to what the applicant family should do next in order to claim what they are entitled to.

The Health Service Executive has responsibility for administering the Repayment Scheme and the information sought by the Deputy relates to matters within the area of responsibility of the Executive.

My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued to the Deputy.
