asked the Minister for Health if he will state the total grants made available to each health authority in each of the years 1932-33 to 1948-49 under schemes for the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Grants to Health Authorities.
I presume the Deputy wishes to ascertain the aggregate of the grants made from the Exchequer to all health authorities towards the operating cost of the tuberculosis services during each of the years mentioned. As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement, I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:—
TOTAL OF GRANTS MADE TO HEALTH AUTHORITIES FOR TUBERCULOSIS SERVICES IN EACH OF THE YEARS 1932/33 TO 1948/49.
National Tuberculosis Grant and Tuberculosis Block Grant.
