The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, the Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy. The Deputy should note that groups and organisations with an involvement in the provision of services to specific client groups, such as older people, may also apply for a grant from national lottery discretionary funds available to the Department of Health and Children.
