Mr. Pat Healy:

That is correct. As Mr. Murphy stated, apart from our funding of the public system for which we use private sector providers to deliver on behalf of the public system, the private sector is also providing private services directly to families. That is separate from our provision. In those cases we try to dovetail services as best we can. We have gone to tender on three occasions and on each occasion we have improved and developed the service as part of the tender. On this occasion we are moving towards the consumer-directed approach, which is similar to the systems in place in other jurisdictions, to which Mr. Murphy referred, under which service users are given a greater say on how the service is delivered. This includes giving choices on times. At times our service offering can be very fixed. We are trying to increase the level of choice through the tender so that individual service users can choose times that suit them, their families and the wider circle of support available to them. This will be a feature of how we must work and we are trying to move into this type of model as we go forward.
