As part of service improvements in the health system, a sum of €1.5million is provided in Budget 2008 for the organisation (details supplied). The drawing down of this funding is a matter between the Health Service Executive and the organisation (details supplied).

The Deputy's specific question relates to the management and delivery of health 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.
