My comment relates to subhead C2. Earlier I made reference to the Health (Amendment) Bill going through the Houses. Its briefing document states that funding available for long-term residential care has been reduced by €20 million in 2013. Earlier, the Minister made a point about other measures with regard to outcome assessments, which is fair enough. Has any evaluation been made or is an impact assessment being done on the cuts and the long-term residential care supports?
