Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 October 2006
429 Mr. Healy asked the Minister for Health and Children if she will intervene with the Health Service Executive to allocate funding to the Irish Osteoporosis Society in view of the fact that no funding was received in 2006 and only part funding in 2005; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Irish Osteoporosis Society (IOS) was funded on a once-off basis by the former Northern Area Health Board in 2004 and 2005. Funding of €130,000 was provided in 2005. The IOS sought further funding of €128,000 during 2006. Following a series of meetings and checking of documentation, the HSE paid this amount to the IOS on the 22nd of September 2006.
