1379. To ask the Minister for Health if he will ensure that there are no cuts to home help services in view of the severe difficulties this will cause service users and their families; the steps taken to ensure sufficient levels of home help are made available to support carers including the provision for more flexibility for weekend and night cover; and that the number of home help packages are sustained in an equitable divide countrywide.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply.
