As Deputy Ó Caoláin said, the HSE group has met on this issue. Parents know what is going on. They are being held to ransom. This has been going on for far too long. Young lives are on hold. They are waiting week after week for an answer. We thought there would be a solution to this before Christmas, but unfortunately that did not materialise. I am hopeful that the Minister of State will have something positive to say today.
