What was requested by Enable Ireland is provided for in the Bill. It was provided for by way of amendment. At the end of the year we will publish the full statement of unmet needs. That will be a financial figure. The Ministers concerned will publish the aggregate unmet needs, which will facilitate service planning. More importantly, it will indicate, in a transparent way, what amount of money is required to meet those unmet needs. The debate at budget and Estimates stage will focus on the significant figures of unmet needs that will emerge as soon as the Bill is implemented.
