I have two brief final questions. I have listened to the Minister's comments and the additional money in the health budget was welcome. However, has he received a proposed budget from the Health Service Executive for next year that will cover some of the territories I mentioned such as the disability sector or matters such as meeting the seasonal upsurge, all of the backlogs identified, waiting lists and so on? I asked this question of the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan, but does the Minister have a view on whether the proceeds from future State assets that will be sold off should be hypothecated to feed into the capital budget? In other words, we could spend additional funding on capital projects if, for example, we were to dispose of any part of the banks we own.
