Yes, but he was turned down initially. Many people would have walked away once they were turned down but in fairness to him and through my office, we did fight the issue and, in fairness to the HSE, it came on board. I am concerned there might be others with a similar medical condition who may decide, after being turned down, not to deal with it.
