Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

In fairness, every year in the Estimates we get additional resources for home care. During the year there is typically some level of a winter initiative that the Department generally prioritises. Further funding comes from that and we will see during the year if we can prioritise resources towards home care. It gets much focus but as has been mentioned, eventually the limit is reached.
