Approximately 15,000 people with Parkinson's disease in Ireland are supported by Parkinson's Ireland. The organisation, which receives €70,000 per annum in State funding, provides vital exercise supports nationwide to patients, among many other supports, which are as vital to their care as medicine. This service is under threat. Parkinson's Ireland has applied to the HSE for funding of €120,000 under the funding for section 39 organisations. That equates to 0.0005% of the overall health budget. Will the Taoiseach ensure this small amount of money is made available to Parkinson's Ireland to enable it to provide the vital services that are currently under threat?
