We would all hope into the future that those who suffer from SMA will be able to treated, as everyone who is sick should be. I am not in a position to give Deputy Ó Caoláin an answer on this today. However, I will commit to speaking to the Minister, Deputy Harris, and to trying to influence those who need to be influenced to the effect that all people who have SMA should be treated equally. I am sorry that I do not have the direct decision the Deputy would like but I will bring it back to the Minister, Deputy Harris.
