That is brilliant. I know from the case of our Toirleach that when my wife and I went, we would have got something on a piece of paper and so on. We might have had great plans as to how we were going to build it, but two weeks later, where was that piece of paper? I know some of that is on us, but if there was something app-based or on video, to a degree it would be that reminder piece that everyone can use, whether teachers or anyone else. We just need to do all of this faster, quicker, better. There is very little else I can say.
I will turn to my own constituency. We all know the issue that existed around CAMHS and the reason for the autism protocol. In County Louth, some of my constituents now have access to a consultant for CAMHS-ID but the multidisciplinary team is not in place. This needs to be expedited as soon as possible. I would say the same in regard to the outcomes of the neurorehabilitation team, particularly in my area, where there is no service.
