We have seen this before, particularly with free GP care, where legislation was introduced and, to this day, it has not been rolled out. We are putting the cart before the horse again. We are introducing legislation before any discussion has taken place. No discussions have taken place, which is concerning. Is chiropody an area the Minister will commit to examining? Will he also commit to exploring the option of extending the scheme to ensure it is part of the benefits?
