Payments were sanctioned by the Department and made by the then North Eastern Health Board (now the Health Service Executive) from a Central Development Fund. Since 2005, the full responsibility for such funding has transferred to the HSE, and my Department has asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy in this regard.
