Amharc ar fhreagraSince 2000, €22.63 million additional funding has been made available by my Department to meet our commitments under "Homelessness — An Integrated Strategy". This is ongoing funding and will remain available to health boards for the provision of health services to homeless adults. I have received a communication from the association concerned and the matters raised by that association are being considered in my Department.
