I thank the Deputy. It is very serious if that is the case. It is not the advice I have from the Department or the HSE. The advice I have is that the services and equipment are being provided. There is a mechanism whereby if a CHO does not have a budget specifically for this group of patients, it can put a business case together centrally. The HSE has not received any business cases and the advice I have is that the CHOs are providing support. What the Deputy is saying is serious. I will look into it today.
