I will certainly follow up with the HSE on that issue. What we want to do here is ensure that children and others with disabilities, including adults, are getting the therapies and services they need and require. That is my focus, that of the Minister, Deputy Foley, and of the Government. I refer to ensuring that we have the services and therapies required, be they occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists or whatever therapies it might be, to ensure we are addressing the needs of our young people and people with disabilities right across the country. My door is open and I welcome the Deputy's feedback. I want to try to respond and we all need to work on this area together. The Deputy has my commitment on that.
