That appears to parents and others to be just another hurdle in their way.

I apologise that I must leave the meeting. I ask the Chairman to address my question on whether this measure is in use in some areas, and if it is under negotiation. This query is not specifically about the role of Fórsa; it relates to reports from parents who have received phone calls where the assessment is happening over the phone. Parents are confused because they have been told that the process was deferred.
