That is okay. It is the State's approach.

I want to keep that in mind as I go on to my next point. In 2017, the then Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, gave a commitment that no child would wait for the treatment of scoliosis for longer than four months by the end of the year. How many children are currently waiting for longer than four months? At what point will that commitment be met?
