In this particular case this person now has chronic hip pain. She cannot walk and may need support to take her bag to school. How does she get to and from school? Her life has been transformed. She is on a serious amount of medication. While the family are struggling with that, and they have been to their general practitioner, the hospital and so on, there is no support from the Department in terms of counselling or all the other soft supports, as we would call them. I am not talking about payment but early intervention when something like this happens.
