I thank the witnesses for their contributions. We met recently with Enough Is Enough - Every Voice Counts. My question concerns the fear of parents regarding identifying their child's developmental needs under the new standard operating procedure. I welcome the idea that parents will involved in holistic planning for supports going forward. As was mentioned, it has gone from a 100-hour comprehensive assessment to a 90-minute assessment. What is the parents' role in that 90-minute assessment because that was the fear raised at the committee? Parents were worried that they may miss something that could hinder their children when it came to accessing the services they need. If the witnesses could clarify that, I would appreciate it.
