Minister for Health

I apologise for the delay in responding to the Deputy's letter.

My Department is aware that there have been a number of meetings between Hand In Hand and the HSE in relation to an application for Section 39 funding.

Decisions regarding Section 39 funding are a matter for the HSE and my Department does not have a role to play in this regard.
