Only today did we know for sure what was available in our capital envelope for the next six years. The Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, with my oversight, will meet the HSE, go through it and devise a six-year capital plan for community nursing units and disability residential centres.It will certainly be in there, I just cannot tell the Senator today exactly when it will start and finish and so on. Obviously some of these will require planning permission. All that now has to be worked out. It is a bit like the schools programme which will be ready for publication in a few weeks. There will be a similar programme for community nursing units and disability homes.
