Professor Joyce O'Connor:

My understanding from the HSE is that it is in service. What I am saying, and Deputy Rabbitte is absolutely correct, is that is it not crazy that we are in this committee room in 2017 discussing a document on which there is an agreement on the policy but we are falling down in its implementation? We know where the blocks are. As a committee, members could write what will make a difference because they can intervene. There is no joined-up thinking. One of the fundamentals of A Vision for Change was integrated services and integrated supports and services and that is only beginning to happen. If that is done, it will make an enormous difference. There is a way of doing it, starting next week.
