The programme for Government is very explicit about mental health. It states that the Government intends to fully implement A Vision for Change and that it will base health expenditure on multi-year budgeting supported by a five year HSE service plan based on realistic, verifiable projections. At Question Time yesterday, Deputy Brown asked the Minister of State at the Department of Health with responsibility for mental health, Deputy MacEntee, about the allocation to mental health for 2017. It is a classic case of the rhetoric being good, of language camouflaging the reality, because to fully implement A Vision for Change would cost €35 million per annum but it has been some time since we have had an update on A Vision for Change. Deputy Brown was told yesterday that only €15 million will be spent in 2017 on A Vision for Change. I put it to the Taoiseach------

I thank Deputy Martin. His time is up.

I just want another 60 seconds.

That is the order of the House.

I know.

It is not my decision.

I know well. We will say no more.

I will talk to the Deputy later.

It is sending out falsehoods to people in the mental health arena. I have been hearing this €35 million figure for the past three or four years and it never materialises. We were told in the small print yesterday that it is €15 million. The Government is selling people in the mental health community short. It is time for less rhetoric and more honesty and realistic implementation plans.

Can the Taoiseach give a brief answer?

We discussed this yesterday. This is a commitment of Government. The point the Deputy made about having a subhead which will define both the allocation and the effective spend is a good one. The Government has a confidence and supply arrangement with the Deputy's party in terms of facilitating three budgets, so we work in a three-year envelope in that respect. I have discussed that with the Minister of State, Deputy McEntee, in terms of setting up a specific subhead for mental health, and I am quite sure the Minister for Health will work with us in that regard.

That is not the question.

I am sorry, it is the question. Deputy Adams was next.

It is €35 million versus €15 million.

May I say, almost in passing, that it is rather strange that the Fianna Fáil leader supports the budget and then laments the very things he has supported.

Hear, hear.

Deputy Adams might focus on his question on promised legislation.

That was a helpful observation.
