Currently my budget is €2.2 billion to €2.3 billion and the whole purse in relation to disability is coming with me to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. It is a huge budget that is coming into that Department. The Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, will be the senior Minister with oversight. We will double the budget within the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. The full funding and staffing will transfer across to meet the needs of the expansive role of having the lens of working with the HSE and having inclusion, equality and participation.
