My Department administered a National Lottery Discretionary Fund during the years 2008 to 2016 from which once-off grants were paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. My Department no longer operates a National Lottery Fund. However, the HSE operates a similar scheme and continues to provide grants to health agencies and other organisations from National Lottery funds.

I have asked the Health Service Executive to reply directly to the Deputy regarding this particular query.
