From a financial point of view, we could ask for a breakdown of the cost in each of the CHO regions of the home care support services provided by healthcare support staff and the cost where they are provided by agencies. We will see if there is a disparity in the figures. Is the ratio 50:50 in one area and 90:10 in another? We will get details of the numbers of hours and costs as between the home help services provided by HSE staff which we know number 6,000 and the services provided by agencies. It is in everyone's interests to have this information.
