Written Answers. - HIV and AIDS Services.
Limerick East): Funding for voluntary organisations involved in the provision of HIV-AIDS services in the North-Western Health Board is a matter for the North-Western Health Board in the first instance.
The organisation in question, which runs a telephone helpline service, received a grant of £5,000 in 1995, which was increased to 10,000 in 1996.
Further funding for this organisation in 1997 is being considered in the context of the board's overall plan for HIV and AIDS services and my Department will be in contact with the board shortly on this matter.
