I understand the dimensions around this. However, there was a fundamental breach of trust in this regard in respect of families. Does this practice still continue in the Departments of Health and Education?

Shane Corr stated last week that Ministers and Deputies should know that databases containing representations made to them by the public were searched across Departments. What practice was he referring to? Alarms bell started ringing when he stated that. Was this a culture within the Department of Health regarding Deputies making representations on behalf of their constituents and families needing to access special education?
