It is my Department's understanding from inquiries made of the Health Service Executive that the east coast intellectual disabilities development committee, of which the agency mentioned by the Deputy in details supplied is a member, met on the fourth of this month and agreed proposals with regard to development funding for 2005.

This information was collated by the Health Service Executive's east coast area and forwarded to the Health Service Executive's national directorate in the form of business plans-proposals. The Health Service Executive east coast area has no indication at present when or how much funding will be made available but will revert to the agency as soon as this information is to hand.
