Mr. Chris White:

That is a really good idea. It would mean people or corporates having a tranche of funding allocated to them. They would still have to prove that they actually have the people, but certainly being pre-approved for certain numbers of workplace adaptation grants is a good idea. In the health services, personalised budgeting is coming down the line, where the money follows the person. We could have an allocation of a workplace adaptation grant to, say, Mr. Reid, so that whether he works in the Civil Service, in the Garda or in Intel in Leixlip, the allocation would be to him as an individual. That actually has a lot of merit in it. I fully endorse the Senator's view and it is something we might take away. We were supposed to be educating her but I would certainly take that as a really good idea.

On the issue of VAT on supplements for macular degeneration, there has been a moratorium on that and it has been pushed back so I think it has been addressed. We are delighted that is not being placed as a barrier or additional cost to people trying to prevent it.
