Let us go back on this point again because it relates to what we talked about this morning. We had a service provider say that it was under-funded for a very vulnerable person who ultimately ended up getting a judgment in the High Court. The priority is not the service provider, it is the service user. There is a stark contrast between the service being provided by that particular service provider to some people and to others and I know of some cases very close to me. In Stewarts Hospital for example, there are more and better services, there is transport provision and there are after-school facilities. Everything like that in St. John of God's always costs extra money. Is the HSE withholding any money as a consequence of the assessment?
