177 Deputy P. J. Sheehan asked the Minister for Health and Children the amount awarded by her to any of the organisations involved in social partnership for each of the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and to date in 2010; the details of such payments; the amount awarded; the details of the payments by each of the agencies and bodies under the aegis of her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30990/10]

The Secretary General of my Department has initiated a review to establish amongst other matters, what funding was sanctioned by the Department in relation to management/union partnership activities other than the SKILL project. This review is ongoing and the information requested by the Deputy is not yet available. In relation to payments made by the HSE since its establishment, I am referring your request to the HSE for direct reply. Information on this issue is also being sought from other agencies and bodies under the aegis of my Department. I will write to the Deputy when the information is to hand.
