Written answers

The 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. Voluntary organisations providing health and personal social services are funded by the executive and it is a matter for it to agree the levels of service and the appropriate funding in respect of each such organisation. Prior to 2005, while the majority of these organisations were funded by the health boards or authority, certain voluntary agencies were funded directly by my Department. Details of the agencies funded and the grants paid in 2003 and 2004 are set out in the following tables.
