I thank the Minister of State for coming before the committee and I thank her officials and advisers. I apologise for having to leave as I had to go to the health committee. I am sorry if the Minister of State has addressed in her previous contributions some of the points I will make. I ask her to forgive me in advance for this. I congratulate the Minister of State on her appointment.

On the situation for disabled citizens, if ten was Utopia and their needs were adequately met, and if one was a crisis of international proportions, where does the Minister of State with responsibility for disabilities think our disabled population is on that spectrum?
