For the years 2002 to 2004, inclusive, it was a matter for the former North Eastern Health Board to allocate its funding between the different programmes of treatment and care within the overall level of funding available, after providing for those specific decisions identified by the Department. The information requested by the Deputy in respect of those years was not routinely collected by the Department of Health and Children. Since 1 January 2005 the management and delivery of health and personal social services are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, the Department of Health and Children has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy with the information requested for the period from 2002 to 2004 and to date in 2005.
