This Department allocates funding to REHAB under the Charitable Lotteries Scheme. Under this Scheme, funding is made available to supplement the income of certain private charitable lotteries whose products are competing directly with National Lottery products. As REHAB is not a State body, the Minister has no role in setting the salary of the CEO. The allocation for the Charitable Lotteries Scheme has been provided in the Vote for the Department of Finance. Payments to REHAB, for each of the years 1997 to 2010 inclusive, are shown in the following table.
