Mr. Colm ? Conaill:
We inherited lists of capital projects after the transfer in March last year. We are doing a few things with the HSE to reflect some of the changes under way. Capital allocations for disability over previous years, first, would have probably been underspent and not spent to the amount given and, second, was very heavily focused on decongregation and less on some other areas of disability services. There is a senior dedicated lead person being appointed to lead out on disability capital projects in the HSE for the first time.
