Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2022
54. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if his attention has been drawn to a pre-budget 2023 submission from an organisation (details supplied) asking for an investment of €941,000 for in-home care, outreach care and mental health supports for children and adults with epidermolysis bullosa; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36598/22]
View answerThe pre-budget 2023 submission referred to in the question arrived in my Department yesterday afternoon 5 July 2022. It will be examined, as all pre-budget submissions are, by my officials and relevant issues will be brought to my attention as necessary. I would however like to point out that the matter of funding the proposed investment for the organisation outlined would be an policy issue, in the first instance, for my colleague the Minister for Health.
