Yes, a little flexibility. This is something we must examine. Staff in the HSE have been very helpful to me and are trying to support me to get the result I seek, but this is something we should examine overall to ensure there is flexibility in budgets. If a little tweaking was done, the service I know could provide services for others as well. It is a domino effect where one moves a person into one house and one moves somebody else out to facilitate him. All of that could be done if there was flexibility. Perhaps the Minister of State will examine that.

I commend him on his work. It comes from his heart and I respect him for that. However, we must examine the budgets, how they are spent and the flexibility thereafter.
