Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 February 2005
253 Mr. Lowry asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the funds her Department or the HSE has provided to a school (details supplied) in County Tipperary each year since 2000; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [5006/05]
View answerThe Health Act 2004 provided for the Health Service Executive, which was established on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, the executive has the responsibility to manage and deliver, or arrange to be delivered on its behalf, health and personal social services. This includes responsibility for the provision of funding. Accordingly, my Department has requested the chief officer of the executive's mid-western area to investigate the matter raised and to reply directly to the Deputy.
