I thank the Chairman. This also has to do with value for money. Imagine a spend of over €72,000 per day on transport for children in south Dublin. I suggest we write to the HSE and ask why early intervention services are not being provided in south Dublin and other areas. Surely to goodness with that amount of money being spent on transport every day, it would be more cost-effective to provide the services in the community. We might ask the HSE about that and also why that area in particular is so badly underfunded.
