Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

To clarify, the transfer is from the Department of Health and not the Department of Social Protection. The scope of the transfer was decided by the Government as part of the overall transfer of responsibilities. It is provided for in the underpinning legislation with regard to a definition of what is transferring. It is specialist community-based disability services. A lot of work has gone into defining what is the scope of this in terms of funding responsibility for services. There are services for people in the community who have disabilities that are mainstream funded for want of a better phrase.
