As the Deputy will be aware, my budget in December 2004 outlined overall spending plans in the disability sector, including the announcement of a special disability multi-annual funding package for high priority services with a total value of close to €900 million over the years 2006 to 2009. The costs associated with the provision of various services is a matter for the individual Ministers concerned.
