This is just what is happening on the ground, and that is why I am asking Mr. Gloster the question. There is a 12-year-old Down's syndrome girl and her parents had approached the services for speech and language therapy and were told there was one part-time speech and language therapist for the area - this was in Louth - and there were 700 people waiting. Can Mr. Gloster explain to me what he just said there? There is no pause, and then he said that in primary services there is an element of pause. What does that mean in layman's terms?
