From my own research I know there is a different legislative framework in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which mandates the state and its agencies to provide therapies, supports, care, care packages and personal assistants, PAs. We do not have that. That is the bit that is missing here. As Deputy Canney said, where we are trying to go with this is to create some sort of legislative basis to compel the State. What Ms McCanney is describing simply is not happening at the moment here. The progressing disabilities framework and the community development network teams have failed. I do not know what is being done to remediate that or ameliorate it. I thank Ms McCanney for sharing those insights. I am sorry for coming to Nem last.
