I could keep members here for an hour speaking about the disability sector. There is one issue that should be dealt with right now. Specialised people in speech and language services have been deployed for the purposes of contact tracing. As colleagues said earlier, there are not even ten minutes available for kids in occupational therapy and speech and language therapy. It is absolutely unacceptable. I will leave it at that because we are out of time. We have about seven minutes, so the Minister and Minister of State can wrap up. We look forward to engaging with and working with them. There is much work to do.
