I propose to take Questions Nos. 339 and 340 together.

The Department of Health and Children has a National Lottery Discretionary fund in place which provides once-off grants to community groups and organisations, providing a range of health related services. I have requested that information be compiled and forwarded to the Deputy regarding any funding made available to voluntary and community organisations who worked with vulnerable children and families in 2009 and 2010.

The funding of such organisations does not fall exclusively within the remit of this Department.
