Written answers

Minister for Health (Deputy James Reilly)

My Department administers a National Lottery Discretionary Fund from which once-off grants are paid to community and voluntary organisations, providing a range of health related service. Details of the groups which have received funding for the past three years are set-out on my Departments website —www.doh.ie. No organisation or group in Co. Meath have received National Lottery Funding from my Department this year to date.

The Health Service Executive also provides funding to numerous groups and organisations, details of which are set-out in its annual accounts, which are available on the Executives website —www.hse.ie.

I have also referred this matter to the Health Service Executive for direct reply in relation to this years allocations.
