Revenue funding of €3m was provided to the Health Service Executive (HSE) in 2006 for the development of Neurology and Neurophysiology services. An additional €4m has been provided to the HSE in 2007 to support the ongoing development of neurosciences, including neurology services.

Operational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services is a matter for the HSE and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall Vote. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to reply directly to the Deputy regarding the specific application of these monies.
