Written answers

Minister for Health

The Department of Health does not hold the detailed information sought by the Deputy on campaign funding regarding the Eighth Amendment. A list of organisations in receipt of direct funding from the Department of Health may be provided to the Deputy in follow-up correspondence, should this be useful.
