asked the Minister for Health if he will give details of all public moneys disbursed to voluntary agencies, the health boards and the Health Education Bureau, including the amount paid to each voluntary agency for 1985, exclusive of hospitals and nursing homes.
Written Answers. - Voluntary Organisations Funding.
114.
The organisations funded by the Department directly are described broadly and, in certain cases, specifically, in the Estimates volume. The out-turn of each subhead associated with payments to such organisations will be shown in the appropriation accounts for that year.
Information as to grants paid by health boards to voluntary organisations in 1985 is not yet available in my Department. The list of such organisations is extensive and it is suggested that the Deputy might approach the health boards for the information sought.
The grants paid by the Health Education Bureau to voluntary organisations in 1985 are as follows:—
