Minister of State at the Department of Health Róisín Shortall has complained to the Health Service Executive about cutbacks to community drug projects introduced without consultation with her office.
The HSE in the Dublin-Mid Leinster region has made cuts of nearly €75,000 to community drug projects which it supports. This includes a reduction of €11,536 in funding to projects in the Tallaght local drugs taskforce area for the last quarter of the year.
The moves formed part of overall cutbacks in spending within the HSE over recent months as part of a bid by the health authority to address a potential €300 million financial deficit by the end of the year.
