On the clinical support team issue, I am glad Ms O’Connor raised that point and I am running out of time but I ask the Chairman for indulgence on this point. My understanding is that prescriptions have not been reviewed and that the clinical support team needed to be in place certainly prior to our guests' appearance before the Committee of Public Accounts. I ask that resources be deployed through the national office, from elsewhere if necessary, in order to ensure that the families are engaged with at the very least today or by the end of the week. I cannot fathom that if my child had been impacted since 2016, nobody would have made contact with me as of today to say that everything was going to be reviewed and supports offered. It is not just the children any more but it is their entire family who need the supports and services. I am not asking Ms O’Connor to comment on that but I am asking Mr. Reid, through all of the staff that he has available and are at his disposal, to ensure that there is a targeted approach to the families who have been impacted since, arguably, before 2016, but certainly since 2016 up to today, where we need to ensure that they get the services. I will leave it at that.
