578. Deputy Jerry Buttimer asked the Minister for Health the reason responsibility for funding the Irish Society for Quality and Safety in Health Care was transferred from his Department to the Health Service Executive; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42726/12]
View answerAll matters relating to funding for the ISQSH were transferred from the Department to the HSE in order to further strengthen and streamline the corporate and financial governance principles under which the Society receives funding. The Department has agreed with the HSE that the Executive should assume responsibility for the direct allocation of ISQSH's funding from 2012, as appropriate, having regard to the above. The HSE is in ongoing discussions with the Society in relation to funding matters.
