My Department administers a National Lottery Discretionary Fund from which once-off grants are paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. Funding in 2016 amounts to €3.286m.

The closing date for receipt of applications was 6 May and my Department has received a large number of applications which are currently being processed. All applications will be acknowledged and all applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application as soon as a decision has been made.
