I regret that due to industrial action I am not in a position to provide a substantive response to your Parliamentary Question. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, however, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.

The information in relation to the Home Help service, currently available within my Department, is set out in the following table.

The HSE Service Plan 2010 commits the Executive to provide 11.98 million Home Help hours this year. The funding available for this service in 2010 is unchanged from 2009 i.e. €211 million. 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 other detailed information requested. If this matter remains of continuing concern to you, I would invite you to raise it with me again in due course.
