I am talking about the report that the Ombudsman did in regard to people who were under the age of 65 and it concluded there was age discrimination. It was in 2012 and it was a report that was done specifically on this. The HSE might give us a note in regard to how it was handled, specifically in regard to the very limited resources available, how the HSE handled cases it was not able to compensate because it would have impacted on other services, and what dialogue it might have had with the Department in that regard. I will leave that issue but I ask the HSE to give us a note on it.
