I welcome this meeting and the witnesses coming before us. Starting with the individual family support plans, I had a parliamentary question on this issue answered by Mr. O'Regan. It was dated 24 May 2022. In that question, I asked the Minister of Health the number of individualised family service plans issued and accepted by each CDNT, broken down by CHO area. The response I got was that the individual family support plan process is a live one, in that the team and family keep it under review while service supports and strategies are being implemented and as the needs and achievements of the child and family change. Is the output of the individual family support plans being measured as this process is being rolled out? Where I am going with this question is towards trying to get at the experience of the family that interfaces with the service.
