Mr. Robert Watt:

No, we did not commit to the Health Research Board. We committed to finding additional funding for this project, which one would administer through the Health Research Board, and then we would work through with it, in the context of the Estimates in September or October, how that would be managed.

There would be further details about how that programme would be managed. I was not cutting across the HRB because it receives an allocation from the Minister for Health to deliver on various health objectives. It is then mandated to manage these programmes and research funding and it does that on a competitive basis in the main.
