My Department received an application for a grant from the Health and Children allocation of National Lottery funds from the organisations referred to.
There is a protocol in my Department for processing applications for National Lottery grants. When a completed application form is received in my Department it is registered in the Finance Unit and forwarded to the relevant Service Division for their assessment, evaluation and recommendation. All applications are then considered in the context of the recommendation and the overall level of funds available to me. The applications are two of many under consideration for a grant from my Department and the organisations will be informed as soon as a decision has been made.
