Jerry Buttimer: I take the point made by Deputy Healy. I have given a commitment that a specific part of the quarterly meeting scheduled for 25 July will be dedicated to the matter. Subhead C2 refers to long-term residential care.

Jerry Buttimer: Let me make it quite clear that the Chair did not engineer today. The Chair made it quite clear to those involved that he thought it was an inappropriate day to have a meeting and we tried to change it. I accept that it was not the correct way to do business. I ask the Deputy not to infer that the Chair or the secretariat were involved, because we were not.

Jerry Buttimer: I apologise to members of the sub-committee for the unacceptable timing of this morning's meeting. There was a clash of meetings this morning and we will liaise with the Departments regarding the matter. I thank the Minister and his officials for assisting the sub-committee with our consideration of the Revised Estimates.

Jerry Buttimer: Given that we are going to be caught for time this morning, I propose that at the quarterly meeting we have a specific section dealing with the medical card issue. It is not fair for committee members to have to rush the matter this morning, as it requires more discussion than we can have in the brief time available this morning.
