The applications for the Department's National Lottery Funding 2015 will be opening soon. I would encourage all organisations to complete a formal application form which along with detailed procedures will be available on the Department of Health's website at www.health.gov.ie.

As the Deputy's question about a pilot scheme relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
