Mr. Bernard O'Regan:

Just to expand on what the Minister of State said on respite, it is very important in the context of the convention that we are developing respite services and are approaching it in a very comprehensive and broad way. We are building centre-based respite services that we know are really valued by families and which afford them essential breaks. We are complementing that with other respite options as well so that in the future we are not just creating an assumption that centre-based respite is the only option and that residential services are the only option for people. We want to have as broad an array of options as possible for people, depending on their individual needs. That is the approach we are trying to take.
