It would be important for this committee to engage on that as well because we have had lots of problems with systems that were not fit for purpose. The children’s disability network teams system, for example, is clearly not fit for purpose. It is not collecting the data and we cannot monitor the data. There were reports on the aggregate need of children that need to be submitted to the Minister annually but do not get submitted because the data is not there. Getting that part right and capturing data are important. I am happy, therefore, that there is a new IT system.

I have a quick question that I meant to ask earlier because Ms Casey talked about designated centres. Are we talking about all centres, including for people with disabilities, being covered under this?
