Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The Deputy has raised three issues. There is the issue of section 39 organisations being promised money they have not received. My colleague, Ms Niamh Doody, will talk to the Deputy on the margins of the meeting and I certainly will look at the issue.

Second is the issue of the adequacy of disability services, whether respite, residential or home support. I will look at that for CHO 5 and come back to the Deputy.

Third, there is the discussion around the overall sustainability of the section 39 sector, which is well rehearsed across the country.
