Minister of State at the Department of Health

The Health Service Executive provides funding to the National Council for the Blind of Ireland under Section 39 of the Health Act 2004 to provide supports to blind and visually impaired people. The Department has asked the HSE to provide you with details. If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, he can contact my Private Office and they will follow the matter up with the HSE.
