Grants to health agencies and similar organisations are provided annually by my Department through voted expenditure as set out in the table below.
| Subhead | â'¬ | |
| 2005 | B2 | 3,722,000 |
| 2006 | B2 | 3,815,000 |
| 2007 | B2 | 3,903,000 |
| 2008 | B2 | 3,985,000 |
| 2009 | B2 | 2,795,561 (to date) |
This funding is financed in part by the National Lottery with the remainder being made up by the exchequer since 2006.
In relation to future lottery funding, deliberations by Government on the expenditure allocations for next year are likely to continue up until Budget time.
