Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We discussed this yesterday. This is a commitment of Government. The point the Deputy made about having a subhead which will define both the allocation and the effective spend is a good one. The Government has a confidence and supply arrangement with the Deputy's party in terms of facilitating three budgets, so we work in a three-year envelope in that respect. I have discussed that with the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, in terms of setting up a specific subhead for mental health, and I am quite sure the Minister for Health will work with us in that regard.
