Mr. John Connaghan:

We have gone beyond the current level of home care packages. The 2018 national service plan has home support services for approximately 50,000 packages. As of May this year, the HSE is providing funding for home support for 52,700 packages. That is 5% or so more than what is in the current national service plan. As the chief financial officer has outlined, at some point there is a limit in what we do in terms of prioritising what we can. Where the Deputy is going is absolutely appropriate.
