One of the complaints we hear from both family members and NCHDs is that they have to go abroad and we are asked why they cannot stay at home and why has a pathway not been put in place for them. I have three e-mails from parents of NCHDs complaining that their son or daughter has to go away, notwithstanding the fact that some of the them want to travel. However, in some cases they do not and they feel they have to go.
