Grants to health agencies and similar organisations are provided annually by my Department through voted expenditure as set out in the table below.
| Subhead | € | |
| 2005 | B2 | 3,722,000 |
| 2006 | B2 | 3,815,000 |
| 2007 | B2 | 3,903,000 |
| 2008 | B2 | 3,985,000 |
| 2009 | B2 | 2,984,261 (to date) |
Since 2005, the total allocation for subheads which had formerly been funded entirely from the proceeds of the National Lottery has exceeded the funds available from the National Lottery. Subheads that, prior to 2005, were exclusively funded by National Lottery funds are now funded by a combination of National Lottery and Exchequer funding. Funds from the National Lottery as a percentage of the total allocation for all part-funded subheads amounted to 64% in 2005, 50% in 2006, 52% in 2007 and 56% in 2008. The corresponding percentage for 2009 is estimated at 64%.
The programme breakdown for these grants, as requested by the Deputy, is supplied in the table.
