Dr. Rosie Gowran:

Because we are acutely aware of the issues in relation to the need for different types of respite it is certainly something we would be looking at within the clinical programme to support any initiative or guidance that can be developed. There are lots of different alternatives currently available but also lots more to be done. The HSE is working with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth to address those issues. If there are examples, as the Cathaoirleach has given, I am sure the Department is looking at all avenues in relation to that.
