Mr. John McKeon:
It depends. Each case is examined on its own merits. We are required under legislation to ask the parent to submit evidence of the care needs of the child. That evidence can be based on the view of a general practitioner, consultant, psychologist or whoever. We cannot provide what is a significant payment without evidence.
