As I understand it, we are collecting data. On all of the policies, the best decisions that have been made in the Department and beyond are when we have data to support the decisions. We are looking at that because parents of children with Down's syndrome fear they are being forgotten. I assure the Deputy that is not the case. I assure her that we will continue to monitor it. I would like to dispel that notion and reassure them that they are not being forgotten because there is a concern among families which is something I do not like to see.
