Disabilities Minister Anne Rabbitte has vented frustration with the HSE over "bureaucracy" that means that millions of euro in funding cannot be spent each year.

Ms Rabbitte has said the issue of capital funding is one of her "biggest bugbears" as it can be difficult to understand "how and where the money was spent, the grey areas within that".
