Norma Foley (Kerry, Fianna Fail)

I can give the Deputy the numbers. As of 25 November, there are 4,566 providers in contract for the scheme. That is almost 93% of all eligible services. It is the highest level we have ever had. Within that, 98.98% of not-for-profit services are covered and 90% of for-profit services are covered. The overall level of coverage is almost 93%; it is 92.84% or something like that. That is a real positive. We would like to be in a position to grow that number. I recognise that there are always going to be challenges, but we are very keen for providers to work with us. We had the new providers forum as well. I recognise the great service they provide. There are private providers and those who provide community services as well. There is a whole variety of them and then there are the new dimensions that we are perhaps going to follow ourselves in terms of State-led provision as well.
