Section 65 of the Health Act, 2004 deals with the preservation of orders, notices, rules, records, etc. This would include any statutory requirement for community welfare officers to retain records in regard to rent allowance payments. My Department has therefore requested the HSE to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy in relation to any statutory requirement that may exist and to reply directly to him.
