We now have the creation of the CDNTs and the primary care teams and all of this new policy. It seems to me that under the old system using a provider like Down Syndrome Ireland seemed to reach the child or person a lot quicker than is happening now. Even if one factors Covid and lockdown out of the equation there seemed to be a greater reach or at least there was more connection between parents and the service under the old system. That is the impression I have.
