The Ministry of Health and Medical Services has allocated $900,000 towards the Frank Hilton Organisation from their 2023/2024 financial year budget to support children with special needs.

When asked by fijivillage News on the allocated amount towards the Frank Hilton Organisation last year, the Ministry of Health says this same amount was also given in the last financial year.

They say this funding is part of the Ministry's existing grant agreement with the organization and indicates the government's commitment.

They add each year, the Frank Hilton Organisation presents its proposal for budget support for the forthcoming financial year and the government has shown its willingness to continue supporting the organisation's valuable efforts to provide care and education to children with disabilities and their families in Fiji.
