Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 November 2017
418. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Health the funding allocated to a group (details supplied) for 2015, 2016 and 2017; if all of these funds have been drawn down; if additional funding was requested; if so, the amount that was requested, approved and drawn down; the budget that is planned for 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50344/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe allocation for Disability Services for 2018 will be over €1.76 billion. The Health Service Executive is currently in the process of finalising its National Service Plan for 2018, in consultation with officials from the Department. Detailed Operational Plans for the coming year for each of the Executive's service areas, including disability services, will stem from this process. Pending the conclusion of this process, I am not in a position to comment on the budget allocation for individual organisations for 2018.
As the Deputy's question relates to service matters, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to the Deputy.
