We had some lengthy discussions on this subject while debating a Private Members' motion we proposed on Tuesday night. As the Minister of State will be aware, I take this issue very seriously. The HSE has been found to be in breach of the law in regard to both preliminary assessments of need for children with disabilities and the submitting of section 13 reports under the Disability Act 2005 to the Minister for Health. Will the Minister of State outline when is it expected those reports will be received? Is it the case the HSE will not appeal the High Court judgment? More important, will he assure us there will not be any efforts by the Government to dilute the rights of children by amending the Act?
