174. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Health the funding received by an organisation (details supplied) in Dublin 5 from his Department for the years 2011 to 2014, inclusive.  [5772/14]

Minister of State at the Department of Health (Deputy Alex White): Details of funding provided to Dublin North East Local Drugs Task Force by my Department in the years referred to by the Deputy is set out in the table hereunder. The figure specified in 2014 is the sum allocated to the Task Force by my Department, of which €211,126 has been paid in respect of January to June. I would also draw the attention of the Deputy to the fact that operational responsibility for 9 of the Task Force projects funded by my Department in 2013 was transferred to the HSE on 1 January 2014, under new arrangements designed to simplify the funding, accountability and monitoring framework of Local and Regional Drugs Task Force projects. The total allocation for the projects funded through the HSE comes to €594,836. This brings the Task Force's total allocation for community drugs projects in 2014 to €1,017,087.
