Limerick East): The health allocation of national lottery funds for 1996 is £22.084 million. This includes £4 million which forms part of the funding for the capital programme. Of the remaining £18.084 million a total of £13.064 million is committed to fund ongoing services administered by health boards or by bodies which have a close relationship with my Department. A further £3.340 million is allocated to health agencies to fund the respite care grants scheme and the schemes of grants to voluntary organisations.
As the Deputy is aware a limited amount of discretionary funding is available to me from the proceeds of the national lottery. The amount available for 1996 is £1.68 million.
