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. In relation to this organisation, an application has been made to the HSE for once-off Lottery funding. The HSE are currently in the process of assessing applications for 2006 lottery funding and will contact the organisation with regard to this application in due course.
