I wish to continue with the same theme, as it is important and the Taoiseach has not really given an answer. Last week it was reported that seven children at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, who are ready to go home and whose parents have been trained to bring them home cannot do so because the HSE cannot provide home care packages for them. The mother of one child has to come from Kilkenny every Monday, go home on Thursday and come back at the weekend with her family to be with her child at the hospital. It is an outrage that such a thing can happen in this day and age.
