The Deputy's question relates to the funding, 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.
However, I am in a position to inform the Deputy that in relation to Women's Aid specifically, this organisation is grant aided to the amount of €636,240 per annum by the HSE. The HSE recently agreed to increase this funding by €69,700 per annum to support the expansion of their national helpline and I understand a payment for this amount was issued in the week ended 21st January, 2007.
