559. To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 449 of 23 June 2015 and the failure of the Health Service Executive to answer the question sufficiently, if he will provide, in tabular form, the number of home help hours provided and how this compares to the targets set in each local health office area for each month to date in 2015.

I understand from the Health Service Executive that it has not to date been possible for them to supply the information requested in the format specified by the Deputy, as the Executive does not normally compile the relevant information in this way.

However, I have asked the Executive to re-examine the matter to establish what information can be furnished that is as close as possible to the Deputy's request, and I will revert to him once I receive their response.

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.
