194. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Health when a detailed reply will issue to a letter written by this Deputy of 18 May 2015 (details supplied) to which two acknowledgements issued dated 25 May 2015 and 25 June 2015; the reason for the delay with this reply; the protocols in place in his Department to ensure quality customer service in relation to correspondence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29300/15]
View answerI regret the delay in responding to the Deputy's representations regarding an application for a National Lottery grant for Act for Meningitis, Tuam Road, Galway. The matter was receiving attention and I am pleased to inform you that I have approved a once-off grant of €50,000 from the National Lottery to fund a national support and awareness campaign. I recently wrote to the organisation informing them of the approval and my Department issued a letter dated 7 July concerning payment of the grant.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
