The respite care grant has been beneficial to many. We delivered an additional €100 this year and intend to increase it further. I am favourably disposed, if I have the money, to looking at the provision of respite care for others who do not receive the allowance. The Minister for Health and Children, my predecessor and I looked at the financing of long-term care. We will need to take a holistic approach to income support and not have the health boards, district nurses, voluntary groups and the Department going in different directions. We must target resources at areas where they will best be spent. Society has changed greatly and couples are having fewer children resulting in fewer people to care for the elderly and disabled. Regardless of which party is in government, it will have to come up with ways to address this important issue which is being looked at by an Oireachtas committee. I will be delighted to facilitate it as much as possible and look forward to the findings of its deliberations which may throw up some practical, poignant points. We will not be found wanting in listening and trying to address the concerns of many.
