I thank our guests for their contributions. Caring is the pathway to independent living. I was disappointed to read the wording of the proposed constitutional amendment. It allows the State to step back from its obligations and to put that into our Constitution would be a travesty. I do not know what to think about it yet but I was disappointed to see the wording as it is. I have one very specific question about the capital assistance scheme and the moneys that are there.

What is the single biggest recurring obstacle preventing organisations and individuals from accessing CAS funding? What is the pinch point?
