My Department does not directly fund or co-ordinate health and personal social services to victims of abuse. Moneys are made available each year, formerly through the health boards, and now through the Health Service Executive, for the provision of services to women victims of violence. In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in funding so that more than €12 million is provided annually for the provision of such services. It is a matter for the Health Service Executive to resource the provision of these services.
