My question to the Minister concerns Crohn's disease and its first cousin, colitis, which is an incurable lifelong condition. There is a very strong case for that to be on the long-term illness list. We have one of the highest rates of these illnesses and it is growing. There are 450 young children with colitis, which is a matter of grave concern for us.
