I welcome that lateral approach and that fresh thinking around it. Dr. Burke might keep us updated on it. Even an additional note might be appropriate on that, Chair.
Can Dr. Burke give us any information regarding data around this in the context of geographical areas? Are there particular locations that have red flags? For assessment of need, not just in Dr. Burke's experience but according to the data she or the HSE has, is the profile higher in areas of economic deprivation or in other strata of society? If the HSE is able to pinpoint that a particular area is one in which the presentation of children with additional needs and additional neurological challenges is higher, are we targeting those areas with additional resources?
