Exactly. Mr. Mulvany will give us those figures. I do not want to go into this in detail because it is not the topic we are discussing, but I note the replies we have all got to parliamentary questions relating to people seeking home help service, some of which is provided by organisations funded through section 39 agreements. I could paper my walls with the replies which we have all got. The reply is to the effect that a person has been approved for the additional home help hours but they are on a waiting list. Everyone agrees that the person should have the service but there is not the money to provide it. Some of those providers are funded directly by the HSE and some are funded through section 39 organisations. That is why I am asking about this. Will the witnesses forward a reply detailing how many approved home help hours are on a waiting list and dependent on section 39 organisations to deliver? I am sure they get the gist of my question.
