I thank the witnesses for their opening remarks. I would like to touch on a number of areas. I will be brief in order to get through them in the limited time available to me. To touch on the issue of assessment of needs that we were discussing a little while ago, the redesign in the HSE that is being spoken of is welcome, but a definitive timeframe for when that will be published would also be welcome. I heard Ms O'Connor's remarks about the focus on the child's needs, which is right and proper. Does she have a timeline for when that will be complete?
