Ms Alison Cotter:

I thank Deputy Feighan for acknowledging the good work that is going on. He mentioned the transitional living unit in his own backyard, Sligo. That is the gold standard of partnership between the HSE, the Government and voluntary sector organisations. It is what we need to see across the board. We are seeing it in our MS respite centre. It is worth acknowledging there are gaps in service in terms of the non-existence of our casework service in Sligo, which we will take outside of this committee. Before I pass over to my colleague, Ms Rogers, I acknowledge the progress to date and the gaps that are still in existence in the north west. There is no arguing with that.
