403. To ask the Minister for Health if there is a maximum limit on the amount of hours of home help or care provided under a home care package; the supports available to families who require a sufficient home care package to be put in place to bring their loved ones home and where they have only been offered minimal hours; the costs associated with providing 40 hours of home care as opposed to the cost of a person remaining in hospital full time; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
