475. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Health if he plans to increase the budget for the HSE Environmental Health Service for monitoring and enforcement of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20710/23]
View answerThe funding of the Environmental Health Service is determined as part of a wider estimates process carried out with my Department and the Health Services Executive. With regard to the allocation of possible future funding, as the Deputy will appreciate, I cannot comment at this stage on the outcome of the estimates process, or matters which will be the subject of national service planning.
