Mr. Paul Reid:

I am happy to take two aspects of the question. In terms of the future, the regions will have devolved responsibilities for mental health services and disability services. There will be some central guidance in terms of standards and clinical governance, but a lot more devolvement at a very high level. As Deputy Shortall stated earlier, it will be worked out on population-based budgets, based on demographics, by looking at the health population in certain regions and allocating budgets on that basis. That is a core principle of the Sláintecare devolvement.

Specifically, on the Owenacurra mental health facility, we are still working with the families involved. It was 11 families, but I think it is down to nine families now that we are still working with in terms of alternative placements.
