I spend every day of my working life away from the cameras meeting people in the HSE and the Department of Health who work in the area of disability. I also meet individuals from the all of the professions that operate on the front line. Furthermore, as the Deputy is probably aware, I spend a great deal of time meeting families and the service providers. There are often queues of service providers in the corridor outside the door of my office. I do not accept that I am not listening to people directly involved in it.
