Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 December 2018
180. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health the grant and funding schemes operated by his Department; the value of each scheme; and the basis or criteria used for the allocation of funding in respect of each scheme [51407/18]
View answerThe funding and grants available from my Department are as provided in the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2018 (Vote 38 - Health)
My Department administered a National Lottery Discretionary Fund up to and including 2016 from which once-off grants were paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. This fund no longer operates.
The HSE operates a similar scheme and continues to provide grants to health agencies and other organisations from National Lottery Funds. Details of the scheme are available at:
