Tony Kett (Fianna Fail)

I sympathise with Senator Terry in this regard, but I accept what the Minister of State has said. One cannot impose a timeframe where there are other imponderables such as staffing involved. For example, if when somebody is sent to a voluntary body for a particular part of an assessment, the body is short-staffed, the assessment will have to be made by another body. That puts a time constraint on the assessment. For that reason it is difficult to see how the Minister of State could be forced to put a timeframe on the provision of a service.
