Ceist:592 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Health and Children if he has received representations from an association (details supplied) in respect of funding commitments made by him and his Department for 2003; the action which has been taken since 12 May 2003 to liaise with the association with a view to ensuring that the residual gap between the core deficits being experienced by the association members and the commitment of moneys from his Department can be bridged; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
