CD Helping Hands received €78,000 in Lottery Funding from my Department in 2008 in order to set up a new office. Leukaemia Trust/Cancer Care West Ltd. received €50,000 Lottery Funding from my Department in 2009 to go towards a new purpose built support centre.

The Pobal SSNO scheme is a matter for the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government.

The remainder of the Deputy's question relates to service delivery matters and accordingly I have asked the HSE to respond directly to him.

If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow up the matter with them.
