Ms McDonagh made a comment about the Disability Act. What is coming across from the large number of meetings we have had on this whole issue is the right for an assessment of needs but not having a right for a service. I believe that needs to change. Something like seven to ten High Court cases a week are being taken to access an assessment of needs and children who need them are not getting services. The committee needs to tackle that.
