I ask the Minister to call on the HSE to suspend its plans to implement this cut. It is shameful in light of the fact that we ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities only a few years ago, which should have happened long ago. It is disgraceful and targets the most vulnerable in society. I call on the Minister to show some compassion and decency to these people who want to further their career and go through our education system.
