Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I am not discussing the details of the Bill. My question covers that Bill and the financial situation as well. Up to recently, various HSE offices said they could not deal with enhanced subvention because the finances were not there. There now seems to be a change of direction coming both from the Minister and the HSE regional offices. Has an additional Estimate been put in place by the Department of Finance to cover that interim period for the fair deal scheme?
