As the Deputy's question relates to service matters I have arranged for the question to be referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply. The Deputy may also wish to note that a Value for Money Study of the disability services funded from Vote 40 is due to commence shortly as part of the Government's Value for Money and Policy Review Initiative 2008-2011.
