Case workers are a scare resource, I imagine, in the HSE or wherever the services are coming from. We do not have enough case managers because so many people need help. They are stretched and it is hard to access them and get time with them. Time is needed because everything is new to people with an acquired injury or disability. There is a learning curve for parents, family and the person involved. It is not a half-hour meeting, tick the box and let them off with a contact list. That is the problem.
