Mr. John Dolan:

The bottom line for us and the sector is that with the choices that have been made by the Government and which are currently in place, not to go back over them again, the point has been passed where people are losing supports and services. We are saying different choices must be made. They are very difficult choices. There are organisations providing direct services such as respite and day care, and there are other organisations that are working with people who are not in those situations but who have chronic conditions such as MS or polio. Those organisations are working across different parts of the HSE and local authorities and they may be described as advocacy organisations, but if somebody in one of those organisations ensures that the local authority can make a house more amenable-----
