Lucinda Creighton (Dublin South East, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister for his reply. I do not wish to repeat what Deputy Flanagan has said. I would be interested to hear some feedback on the carers' forum which was hosted on Tuesday. I would also like to have more of an insight into what the Minister believes is required, in terms of bed numbers and capital expenditure, to deal with the backlog for respite care which exists not just in Dublin but throughout the country. What would be the ideal?
