There is quite a sizeable difference between what can be provided by St. John of God and what can be provided by a comparable organisation like Stewart's in Palmerstown, such as in service levels and the activities afterwards. How does the HSE look at this kind of issue? Does it provide money in a block grant or on the basis of a service level agreement? Is it like with like? Why are there such differences?
