As indicated in my reply to the Deputy of 30 June 2010 on this mater, while the question raised relates to funding provided by the Health Service Executive (HSE) to a childcare service, as the service is also in receipt of funding under the Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) scheme which is implemented by my Office, I have had enquiries made into this matter. As stated to the Deputy in my previous reply, I understand that the HSE is currently reviewing its decision from earlier this year to reduce the service's funding in 2010. I understand that the HSE is in contact with the service and that it will be advised of the outcome of this review in due course.
