Mr. Éamonn Donnelly:

I can see the case that they make for their autonomy to provide services away from a model that we have all been complaining about this morning. I am not saying that they are wrong when they make that case. I do not know whether the Chairman has seen our Caring at Cost document, which we intend to relaunch. The document makes it clear that the funding model is wrong because of what it does not allow. If we decide to allow providers to provide on behalf of the State, we must consolidate their position within the funding model.
