I understand that the Myasthenia Gravis Association received National Lottery Funding of €18,000 in 2006 from my Department towards the development and distribution of information on CD-ROM. My Department did not receive an application from this organisation for National Lottery Funding in 2007 or 2008. 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, I have 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.
