It will be when the system is up and running. That is the whole idea. I see the number of parliamentary questions that come in and how long it takes to get responses to them. I believe in reporting in real time because that means parents have the power and they have the information. It also gives Departments the opportunity to support, fund and address the issues Deputy Durkan raised around maternity leave, long-term absences or whatever needs arise. We will have a live helicopter view. There is no point in finding out about this six months later and we have not delivered services for six months. There is an appetite in the HSE to be very fair within disabilities, but it needs the tools to do the job. That is the appetite and the policy direction within the Department of Health and within the new Department. Yes, there will be a funding ask to make that work, but that will mean the delivery service will be brilliant. It will also mean that we know the shortfalls. Further, it will mean elected representatives will know the CDNT teams in their areas and how they are functioning.
