As this is a service matter I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.

In addition to the HSE service provision, the Healthy Ireland fund provides monies for a number of initiatives such as Healthy Campuses and Clubs and Healthy Communities which include tobacco control measures. As these initiatives also include the promotion of physical activity, healthy eating and positive aging it is not possible to give a specific figure for the tobacco control element.
