A total of €2.66 million for the operation of the scheme was allocated to the Health Service Executive south eastern area for 2005.

The overall provision for the scheme in 2005 has been fully allocated by the task force, who administer the scheme under the aegis of my Department, and no additional funding is available in the current year.
