These people are eligible for the scheme. That has been determined by the HSE's appeals officer, a decision it did not appeal, on the basis of legal advice indicating it did not stand a chance in hell. There are, potentially, 10,000 people additional to the people we have been talking about all week, and these are people who are in disability services in section 38 and section 39 organisations. Is provision going to be made to ensure they will be compensated as per their legal entitlement?
