Benefits and State Supports

The state has a number of allowances, benefits and tax reliefs that parents of a child diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, as well as people with CF, can apply to for support.

The wide range of services that are provided through Local Health Offices and from Health Centres include general practitioner services, public health nursing, child health services, community welfare, chiropody, ophthalmic, speech therapy, social work, addiction counselling and treatment, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychiatric services and home help.
