My last question was a general one on wardship procedures rather than specifically relating to the investment issue. Aside from the investments that are managed by the Courts Service on behalf of wards, does Ms Farrell believe there are other things that the State should be doing for wards of court, in terms of providing for their social, economic or medical needs? Should the State be providing an advanced category of medical card, for example, or specifically tailored home care packages? Are there other things that the State should be doing for wards of court, apart from managing these funds for their future needs?
