I propose to take Questions Nos. 151 and 152 together.

The Health Service Executive advised that the person concerned made an application for mortgage interest supplement approximately twelve months ago. The Executive requested the person concerned to provide further information in order to process her application but have not received the requested information to date. A decision will be made on her application for mortgage interest supplement when the information has been provided.

The Executive further advised that payment of diet supplement ceased approximately 12 months ago. If the person concerned wishes to make a new application for diet supplement she should contact the community welfare officer at her local health centre.
