Is it not an awful pity that it took a High Court case to bring people to a point where they accepted that there was underfunding of the care of a very vulnerable person? That High Court case would have been a very expensive exercise and €500,000 was spent on the production of some of the reports. It strikes me that if the proper care had been provided in the first place, all this damage and unnecessary expense could have been avoided. Are there lessons to be learned in this regard?
