203 Mr. G. Murphy asked the Minister for Health and Children if there is a provision made under the increases announced in Budget 2007 for an allocation to ensure the continuity, maintenance and development of a service, if a group (details supplied) in County Cork providing support for women experiencing domestic violence are forced to terminate their service due to lack of funding. [14078/07]

237 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children her plans to increase the funding to a group (details supplied) in County Cork in view of the valuable work they do in supporting women experiencing domestic violence; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [13706/07]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 203 and 237 together.

The Deputy's question relates to the funding, management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Parliamentary Affairs Division of the Executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
