Total expenditure by the HSE on the two National Networks came to â¬839,366 in 2009. The HSE has been considering changes in the arrangements for funding organisations that provide domestic, sexual and gender-based violence services, including Rape Crisis Network Ireland and SAFE Ireland. However, it has been decided to extend the current funding to both organisations until 1st August to allow me to review these proposals.
