But that is going on for years. In my time as a Deputy, over the past 12 years, the service has deteriorated. It has fallen off a cliff. The service has collapsed. Here we are in a rich country with another big budget passed for health. I heard no one in the Government or in the Opposition arguing about that. No one has said to the Minister for Health or to the Minister for Finance that they are putting too much money into it. I know these issues are hard to fix, but a start must be made somewhere. Could Mr. Mulvany say what the funding is on a national level for dental services? Could he tell me what it is per CHO? I do not want to be parochial, but I am trying to get my head around what is happening. Could Mr. Mulvany give me a breakdown of what the funding is in CHO 8 in terms of the DTSS, the public scheme and the school scheme? Am I correct in saying they are the three schemes?
