I have a final point regarding disability issues and mental health. It took a long time to get the disability issue on the political radar. For a long time the human rights of a person born with a physical or mental disability were being neglected because the system was not geared to helping them develop their full potential.

With regard to Senator Quinn's comments, I do not believe the Bill will just cause more expense. We must be focused.
