Subhead J4 includes the ring-fenced service development funding of €35 million for mental health and funding to deal with delayed discharges. Is that €15 million with regard to delayed discharges part of the amount announced in the budget to deal with the problems associated with the number of people on trolleys in our emergency units in January? Is that figure the €15 million announced last year to deal with the issue of step-down facilities and the increase in funding for the Fair Deal scheme?
