Following the cessation of the Special Housing Aid for the Elderly Scheme from 1 August 2008, it was agreed between my Department and the Health Service Executive, that all applications on hand at that date will be processed by the Health Service Executive under the provisions of the Special Housing Aid for the Elderly Scheme. I expect to make an allocation to the Health Service Executive shortly in the respect of the processing of these claims.
