Motion: Core Grant Scheme
Proposed:
That this Assembly expresses disappointment that only 25 out of 259 community and voluntary sector groups were successful in their application for the new Core Grant Scheme; acknowledges the vital role that community and voluntary organisations play in supporting patients, alleviating pressure on our health services, and improving public health outcomes; notes that the current level of core grant funding falls significantly short of what is required to sustain and expand essential services in our communities, and that this will have a significant impact on the number patients receiving treatment and support in the community; urges the Minister of Health to engage meaningfully with stakeholders to secure long-term, sustainable investment in voluntary and community health services; and calls on the Minister to urgently review the amount of funding allocated to ensure that the sector is adequately supported.
Chairperson, Committee for Health
