My Department understands from the Health Service Executive that applicants must be notified in writing of the outcome of any decision on an application for, or review of, Domicilary Care Allowance and in the event of an unfavourable decision formal notification should be issued informing the applicant of his or her right of appeal and indicating where he or she should send the appeal. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
