226. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Health the funding allocation provided to an organisation (details supplied) for the provision of community and residential neuro-rehabilitation services for persons with acquired brain injuries in each of the years 2011 to 2016 and to date in 2017 by county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagra227. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Health the details of all requests for funding received from a service provider (details supplied) in each of the years 2011 to 2016 and to date in 2017; the amount sought on each such occasion; the purposes for which moneys were being sought; the dates on which such requests were received; if applications for funding were approved, partially approved or rejected in respect of each, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44645/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 226 and 227 together.
My Department administered a National Lottery Discretionary Fund up to and including 2016, from which once-off grants were paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a wide range of health related services. My Department no longer operates a National Lottery Fund. I have included below a table which outlines the applications made by various branches of Acquired Brain Injury Ireland to the fund during the years 2011 - 2016. A list, in tabular form, of all the organisations that received funding in each of these years is available on the Department's website at:
http://health.gov.ie/about-us/financial-information/lottery-funding-2008-2016/ "
As the Deputy's questions also relate to service matters, I have arranged for the questions to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
