I am led to believe it was a large amount. A figure of €120 million was mentioned. If that is the figure, what has been allocated is considerably short of that. Day services have reopened in the past month but only on a partial basis. People who were receiving five days are lucky if they are getting three and most are getting one or two. It is very important because we all know about regression and loneliness. There is frustration over day services being closed and the impact it has had on service users and their families. It will not allow for full reopening.
