I also welcome the fact that the Minister has indicated that cuts to hospital budgets have reached rock bottom. In my view they have gone well beyond that. I hope we will not see any further cuts directed towards that network.

I also hope the Minister was indicating that there would be no further cuts in home help hours and packages. These cuts have been cruel, unnecessary and immoral.
