I accept that, but for many schemes, such as meals on wheels, which is a very simple one, the Department should not provide the funding. It should be provided by the HSE. It is a resource for people that we often employ to keep them out of hospital. Why are we directly funding meals on wheels services through a job activation measure? Why is it not provided by the HSE? Why is Mr. McKeon not going to the Department and asking why it is not being funded by the HSE?
