I raised this in the past when we discussed this issue. I have skin in the game with respect to CHO 9 because it is an area I represent, but is also an area that provides a lot of the acute care in neuro-rehabilitation. What I would like to understand is the decision-making behind the phasing process. I expect that any area that does not have the kind of at-home, outpatient scheme that these demonstration projects show works well will see a respective pressure put back on acute services and we have chosen to leave to the end the area that provides a huge amount of acute services to a highly populated area. In a short time, will Mr. Canavan outline that decision-making process and how the HSE will deal with it in the next few years while this is being rolled out?
