I am not sure if I got an answer to one of the questions I asked Ms Flynn of the DSS earlier relating to the consultation process and disabled persons' organisations feeling left out of the process. I believe she mentioned that it was not under her remit. If not, who was responsible for that? Was it the Department? If it was the Department, can Ms Baxter answer the question? Does she think that the people with disabilities had adequate consultation in this process? On the point she made about momentum, momentum is great but I am also one of the people who believe that rushed legislation can be bad legislation. I would prefer it to be done right.
