Question 155: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the position regarding the provision of rent supplement for clients of Roselawn health centre in Dublin 15; if there are cases when people have been assured by their community welfare officer that they will qualify for the rent supplement, but cannot get the supplement due to delays in processing applications; if this health centre is still dealing with rent supplement applications; the reason a P.O. box number in Dublin 7 was given to applicants who apply for the rent supplement at Roselawn health centre; the current waiting time for rent supplement applications; the number of applicants that have been waiting for six months or more; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that due to industrial action affecting the Health Service Executive it is not possible for the Executive to supply the information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
