The HSE needs the funding so there is not an emergency situation, of which we all know about, where somebody needs housing at the last minute. The HSE must be able to forward plan and work these structures with the Department of housing. It is important that we make it easier for the HSE to work with local authorities to plan this housing and these specialist types of housing. The Brothers of Charity, for example, are considering a residential model that works. There is lot happening in this space but I take the point that the Deputy has made about the issues around this.
