I thank Mr. Gloster. He said earlier in response to other Deputies that his plan is to cut back on private providers. What he has just said is the budget allocation has pushed this back even further again. He will not be able to achieve what he wants. We do not want to be here this time next year with Mr. Gloster telling us Tusla had to put it back. It is clear from what he just said it will put a halt to it. Tusla will not achieve what it had hoped to achieve.
