Absolutely. I am not a specialist in this field so I rely on the information being imparted to me by the HSE. Would person-to-person intervention not have been the starting point anyway as opposed to sending people into an assessment process that some families describe as nightmarish? I am going to leave it at that because I have three minutes left in my slot.

I ask our guests to have regard to that and to be conscious of the points we are making as we reflect them for our constituents.

What is the status of the Owenacurra Centre? I am told it is an approved centre. Will our guests explain what, in HSE speak, an "approved centre" is?
