The transfer of the child and family services function to the Department of Children and Youth Affairs did not impact on the expenditure of my Department. In 2014 Vote 38 (Health) provided for the salaries and expenses of the Office of the Minister for Health and certain other services administered by that Office, including grants to research, consultative and advisory bodies.

The Deputy may wish to note that the approved level of budget transferred to the Department of Children and Youth Affairs from Vote 39 (Health Service Executive) for the Child and Family Agency in 2014 amounted to €544m (€537m Current and €7m Capital).
