I raised it as a priority question and received a reply from the Minister of State, Deputy Barry Andrews, even though he has no responsibility for this matter. This is not good enough. Some 63 families in my constituency have no respite care for their adult family members with intellectual disabilities. One mother who needs to go into hospital can find nowhere to put her 41 year old son and must bring him with her. I will not leave the House next week until I get an answer.
