Minister of State at the Department of Health

The Health Service Executive is the statutory body with responsibility for delivering Health and Personal Social Services in the State. The HSE may provide funding to non Statutory Provider Organisations in support of their activities where such activities are similar or ancillary to services the HSE may provide (Section 39 of the Health Act, 2004). The HSE also provides Capital Funding to non Statutory Provider Organisations for approved developments. Accordingly the matter has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
