Neurological charities’ future funding
Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked when reviews of neurological charities’ funding would conclude and whether groups such as the Neurological Alliance would receive continued support. The Taoiseach expected publication later in the year and undertook to provide the date.
This is National Brain Awareness Week. The Taoiseach is probably conscious of that. In the context of the health information Bill, I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the neurological charities. This time last year their funding was to be cut. The Minister, Deputy Kelly, then announced an extension, saying they were to have funding up to the middle of this year.

It is in the context of the health information Bill.

Two reviews have been carried out in the intervening period. Can the Taoiseach tell us when we will know the outcome of those reviews, and can organisations such as the Neurological Alliance of Ireland be guaranteed funding into the future?
