View answerMy 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 services. The total annual allocation of this fund is €3.286m.

On this basis it would be more appropriate for the HSE to consider its merit in the context of its delivery of Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Services. Therefore your query has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
