Time is of the essence. The family I am talking about have been let down on so many fronts, not all within the HSE given the Department of Education and others have some responsibility. This is one area that should be an easy fix to give the families some breathing space to get through the turmoil they are going through, and they are being denied by the criteria that are in place. I welcome the fact it is being looked at but I urge the HSE to ensure it happens quickly.
