Funding for all health services has been provided as part of the HSE's overall vote for health and social services in 2006. Decisions concerning the allocation of resources for specific services such as that specified by the Deputy are a matter for the HSE. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
