Under the Health Act 2004, the Health Services Executive (HSE) has the responsibility, with effect from 1st January 2005, to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. Voluntary organisations providing health and personal social services are funded by the Executive and it is a matter for the Executive to agree the levels of service and the appropriate funding in respect of each such organisation. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy regarding the status of the organisation's application for funding.

I have sent the Deputy the report concerned which has been provided by the Health Service Executive. The Executive's report contains the information sought on costs requested. The issue of security following the incident referred to by the Deputy has been the subject of a review by the HSE which has statutory responsibility for the provision and management of health and personal social services under the Health Act, 2004 including this service. I have therefore asked the Executive to furnish the Deputy with details of this review.
