Perhaps that is something that we might follow up, as a committee. The rare disease plan predated Sláintecare. I welcome the fact that the HSE is working with the Department of Health in developing an updated plan for rare diseases. I also welcome the fact that Dr. Martin made a statement about the involvement of patients and families living with rare diseases within the fundamentals of the new plan. I hear the frustration of many of the families in that regard too. I call Deputy Durkan.
