I propose to take Questions Nos. 181, 182 and 221 together.
The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. 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.
Furthermore, the Deputy should note that my colleague, Mr. Brian Cowen T.D. and Minister for Finance, allocated additional ongoing funding of €250,000 to the facility referred to by the Deputy in Budget 2007.
