What budget would be required for this level of treatment? What age group would undergo surgery? If there is a cohort of young people already in the system, how are they being dealt with? I was not at the previous presentation but I would be very interested to learn what the Minister had to say to the delegates.

We do not normally reconvene a meeting to meet groups on an ad hoc basis, but I am glad we did so because Mr. Kearns made a very interesting presentation.
