Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children (Ms Harney)

Officials of my Department will meet with representatives of the Health Service Executive next week to discuss appropriate protocols for the allocation and monitoring of the additional funds which are being made available for services for people with disabilities as part of the national disability strategy. I expect that the relevant allocations will be made following that meeting.
