I am not sure if Mr. O'Brien was able to follow the earlier session. I was very taken with what Mr. Deering said. I completely agree with this. If people knew their names and faces and if it was humanised as opposed to being a matter of dealing with schemes that have complicated names, statutory instruments and all the rest, it would be better. This is about Jack who is sitting at home and Mary who has mobility issues. Yes, she has two legs but she is in a wheelchair and, therefore, cannot avail of this support. It is a case of what that means for Mary, Jack and thousands of people like them. MABS carried out a survey relating to its experience regarding its clients. How would it characterise the impact of not having these supports based on its survey?
