The establishment of a health lottery as outlined by the Deputy is not within my remit as Minister for Health. However, as the Deputy will be aware, National Lottery funds, administered by my Department, are available annually to provide once-off grants to organisations providing a range of health related services to specific clients groups e.g. disability, elderly, mental health. Further details of this National Lottery Discretionary Fund are available on my Department's website www.health.gov.ie.
