I propose to take Questions Nos. 575, 576 and 578 together.

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. Details of grants paid to organisations for each of the years 2009 to 2015 are available on my Department's website at .

A schedule of the grants paid by my Department from lottery funds in 2008 is attached for your information.

I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy regarding any funding it provided to the organisations concerned. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office who will follow up on the matter.

577. To ask the Minister for Health the State funding provided by his Department and agencies under its remit, including the HSE, to Anew and its predecessor organisations Anchora and Life Pregnancy Care for each year from 2008 to 2015; and his views on the role of that organisation in providing crisis pregnancy counselling to homeless women given the statement in its constitution recognising the uniqueness of every human life from the moment of conception.

The provision of crisis pregnancy counselling is the responsibility of the Health Service Executive (HSE) and, as such, I have referred the question to the HSE for attention and direct reply. If the deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office who will follow up the matter with them.
