Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 December 2007
161 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason the Irish Osteoporosis Society is not in receipt of core funding from her Department; if her attention has been drawn to the tremendous help the society gives to osteoporosis sufferers; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35695/07]
View answerOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular matter raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
