Most people who watched the "Prime Time" programme would have been quite uneasy in respect of what they saw. I think the findings of the programme were wholly unsatisfactory, whether Mr. Watt agrees or not. Nobody has ever said that the practice that was going on in the Department of Health was illegal.

Was it ethically correct? Families are bringing the State to court for the provision of basic special education needs. Nobody can defend that. Trust and confidence are paramount. Was there a breach of that trust and confidence with these practices going on in the Department of Health?
