I absolutely agree. In fairness, I have heard it mentioned at the disability matters committee that there are such hidden barriers to participation. I will return to the data while I have somebody who cares about this. Dr. Keane is a rarity in that respect. Are we not taking in that information or asking the right questions? What are the barriers? Are we not gathering the information appropriately, centralising it or making it available. I know the witnesses may not be at the front face of gathering this information. What is their impression of the issue?
