Dr. Tony Holohan:

Yes, absolutely. This would provide for consideration of what the Deputy was raising about well-being and all of those important issues.

In terms of the timeframe, I hinted earlier that we intend, when we have further work completed on this, to go back to Cabinet in the next two to three months for permission to bring greater certainty to the question of timeframe. We will be in a better position to set a time. Our intention would be, because it will take time if we go along the road that we are going with the legislation and to provide for the commencement of that legislation, for the public services to build up but also to have a mechanism that, at the point of commencement of that legislation, does not have people who would otherwise be eligible for the service waiting for those public health services to be developed. Given that it will take time with the best of intentions to develop the capacity in the public system to get it to the point that we would like it to be, we would want to see the commencement of those services. I would not put a date on it right now. That is one of the matters that we will talking to the Minister and Cabinet about, and on which we intend the Minister will bring proposals before the end of this quarter.
