The dialogue has been absolutely fantastic, to be fair. There is a massive team working within the HSE and it is led by Dr. Cathal Morgan and Mr. Bernard O' Regan, with whom I meet or chat to at least once a week. Since taking office, I have seen that that train had started when I arrived and the commitment was there before I arrived. These people were committed to the roll out and the reconfiguration of the children's network disability teams. When I talk about the 91 network disability teams, this was already in progress. Unfortunately, Covid landed, but the commitment and enthusiasm for delivery was there. This has been borne out in how they have addressed putting a focus on the assessment of needs. I cannot thank them enough for how they co-operate and work with me and the Department.
