As the Deputy may be aware the implementation of the findings of the Harmond Wolfe Report was subject to the availability of exchequer funding. In this regard additional funding of €10million was provided in the 2006 Budget and €5million was provided in the 2007 Budget to address core under funding and core staffing issues in services for people with disabilities provided by the voluntary sector.

As the allocation of funding is a matter for the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004, 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.
