268 Mr. Bruton asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that in some parts of Dublin, the fee paid by the Health Service Executive for domiciliary visits to nursing homes by chiropodists is just €7.03 after the first visit; if her attention has further been drawn to the fact that the Health Service Executive has sought sanction from her Department to increase its rate to a uniform charge of €29.96 which applies in other areas of the health board; and the reason with the new independent Health Service Executive, it is necessary to obtain departmental sanction to apply uniform rates of payments.
