In 2014 the Department provided three sources of direct funding to organisations providing a range of health related services. One was National Lottery Grants through which the Department provides funding for voluntary and community organisations. Details of payments made from this source are available on the Departments web site www.health.gov.ie. The second source is through administration of a Drugs Initiative which primarily funds community based drugs initiatives supported by Local and Regional Drug and Alcohol Task Forces. Funding from the Drugs Initiative supports local projects set up by Drugs Task Forces in the areas of curbing local supply, prevention and awareness and research. A list of Drugs Task Forces are available on the Department's website (www.health.gov.ie/healthy-ireland/national-drugs-strategy/local-and-regional-drugs-task-forces/). Details of 2014 expenditure are presented in a table.
