I want to focus on the additional revenue and capital that has been allocated. Additional revenue funding for the development of services for older people has increased significantly from €12.7 million in 1997 to an additional €87.8 million in 2002, totalling €100.5 million. In excess of €270 million additional funding has been provided for services for older people from 1997 to date. This has resulted in over 1,000 additional staff being recruited. Between 1998 and 2001 over 550 additional beds were provided in new community nursing units while over 1,250 day places per week have been provided in new day care centres.
