The HSE has confirmed the following figures regarding funding received by the Irish Osteoporosis Society: €250,000 in 2007; €250,000 in 2008; €225,000 in 2009; €205,000 in 2010.

In early 2011, the Irish Osteoporosis Society was originally allocated €150,000; however during last year the HSE raised concerns regarding the Society's compliance with the service level agreement and an interim payment of €15,000 was made to the Society. Department of Health officials and the HSE met with the Irish Osteoporosis Society in December 2011. The purpose of that meeting was to discuss further the issues and concerns that have arisen in relation to funding and these issues are currently being progressed.
