Ms Clare Duffy:

That is an issue. I understand why some people do not like the NTPF model. We do not want to take psychologists, physios and so on out of the public system and entice them into the private sector. However, we do it for cataracts and hips. We do not have that luxury. If these children get early intervention and supports, they can flourish and reach their full potential. For some reason, we are denying them that.
