Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2004
785 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will allocate funding under the capital investment framework 2004-08 to the County Roscommon Association for the Mentally Handicapped for the refurbishment of Ivy House, Castlerea, County Roscommon; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21617/04]
View answerResponsibility for the provision of funding for services, including capital investment funding, in the County Roscommon area is a matter, in the first instance, for the Western Health Board. My Department has asked the chief executive officer of the health board to investigate the matter raised by the Deputy and reply directly to him.
The Deputy will appreciate that I cannot, at this stage, give specific commitments in regard to levels of expenditure in 2005 for any particular service or project as these matters will be decided as part of the discussions on the Estimates and budget for that year between the Department and the Department of Finance.
