Question 549: To ask the Minister for Health the level of funding provided for the running of Coolmine Therapeutic Community, Dublin 15, for each of the past five years; the amount that will be provided in 2012; his views on whether the facility needs additional funding to combat waiting lists, as this is the only mother and child residential treatment centre in the State; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Coolmine Therapeutic Community receives funding from my Department and from the HSE. Comprehensive information in relation to funding for the last five years is not readily available. I will arrange to have it forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it becomes available to me.

Funding in relation to 2012 for community based drugs initiatives, such as Coolmine Therapeutic Community, will be determined in the context of the Estimates process, taking into account the need to protect front line service provision.
