-----paediatric healthcare in our country. On how we will find the money, as I outlined yesterday, the Department of Health will make a contribution to meet the costs from a budget that we provide to the HSE for equipment, replacement and infrastructural risk. This budget was extraordinarily low during the recessionary years. We received a large increase in that budget in 2019 and we will take €24 million from it this year but it will still mean that there will be an awful lot more in that fund than there was this time last year.
