My Department received an application for a grant from the Health and Children allocation of National Lottery funds from the Organisation referred to. There is a protocol in my Department for processing applications for National Lottery grants. Following assessment, evaluation, and recommendation, applications are considered in the context of the recommendation and the overall level of funds available to me. This application is one of many under consideration for a grant from my Department, and the Organisation in question will be informed as soon as a decision has been made.
