Progressing disability services is not working to the goal of the policy, but we know not all of it is not working. Has the HSE examined the flexibility in relation to unpicking those parts of PDS that are working and amending the stuff that is not? It is not a complete failure. We had people speaking to us at the disability matters committee very recently about how it is a good policy document. What is there is good. It is a good concept and there are parts working. Policies are meant to be flexible and dynamic. That dynamism is not in that policy. It is not in the HSE's remit, it seems.
