It is astonishing for the committee to hear about the real-life experiences being dealt with in the courts. In my constituency of Mayo, the demand for speech and language and occupational therapists is enormous. Do we get value for money by throwing money at it? Can we recruit the specialists to meet the significant demand from families and parents? Do we have a response to this in any way? Can a solution be found? What are Mr. Smyth's thoughts on the matter?
