Mr. Éamonn Donnelly:

If I may add to that, we have discussed the section 39 providers previously in this room, probably in a different forum. The answer there is to have a systemic funding model for section 39 providers. We cannot keep going to the well when we have a few bob and then, when we are economically regressing, taking back those services. All that does is create a bed of straw for what is an essential service. As Mr. Ginley said, and as envisaged by Sláintecare, this care should be a right of people and must be provided on a systemic basis.
