440. To ask the Minister for Health the number of persons who have sustained high-level life-changing injuries, some of whom are ventilated and have spent long periods of time in nursing homes and acute hospitals; and if he has considered allocating a budget nationally, as there are inconsistencies in personal assistant services across the different Health Service Executive areas.

As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, she can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
