457. To ask the Minister for Health the status of the cessation of funding to the WALK PEER programme; if he will meet with the WALK PEER team to discuss the situation and to re-evaluate the decision on funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15919/16]

I understand that the PEER (Providing Equal Employment Routes) project was one of 14 activation projects for people with disabilities which were jointly funded by the European Social Fund and the Department of Social Protection from 2012 to 2015. Information on the current status on funding of this project would be a matter for that Department. I will clarify the position with officials in the Department of Health and Department of Social Protection and revert to the Deputy.
