Minister for Health

The Department of Health does not provide funding to this service. As Tusla has statutory responsibility for the care and protection of victims of domestic, sexual or gender based abuse, the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is best placed to answer queries of funding for organisations under this remit.
