Additional revenue funding of €0.063 million has been allocated to the national suicide review group this year, bringing the total funding available for the group to over €0.285 million.

283 Mr. McGinley asked the Minister for Health and Children if grants or payments have been made by the national suicide review group to projects in the North-Western Health Board area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7745/02]
I have been informed by the national suicide review group that to date it has not allocated funding for projects in the North-Western Health Board area. However, the group is currently inviting further applications for funding and prospective applicants should submit details of their projects to the group.
