I ask the Minister of State to clarify if the expert review will consider a long list of illnesses or the medical need of a person when deciding. If it looks at a list of illnesses, it may result in illnesses being left out and people will be outside the system as happens with the long-term illness scheme. Will it look at the medical need of a person rather than having a prescribed list of conditions?
