Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 December 2006
170 Mr. G. Murphy asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason despite a foundation’s (details supplied) best efforts there is a substantial shortfall in funding required and no certainty regarding future funding which will allow for proper planning and development of these services. [43046/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraOperational responsibility for the management and delivery of health and personal social services was assigned to the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004 and funding for all health services has been provided as part of its overall vote. Therefore, the Executive is the appropriate body to consider the particular funding issue raised by the Deputy. My Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have the matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
