I welcome the witnesses. I thank them for their advocacy work on behalf of all the children and families and for the very detailed information they have provided to the committee, including the surveys that were done last year, which are quite shocking in terms of the responses that came back. I will get to those shortly. I might go through some of them because it is important for people who are tuning in and for the public to understand from a parent's perspective and from a child's perspective the full extent of the challenges in this area.

In the material they have provided in addition to the opening statement, the witnesses say that on 28 September they submitted 18 questions to the HSE in respect of children with autism. Have they received responses to any of those questions yet?
