It is on the same issue. The decongregation of settings and taking apart of centres of excellence since 2011 has resulted in cases like the one that my brother highlighted. It has had a detrimental effect on those who benefitted from being in congregated settings. We have constantly highlighted this matter with the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath. While I welcome the fact that he will visit Kerry, these are serious issues and they are having a detrimental effect on the most important person of all, that is, the person who needs care.
