Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)

Rather than push her on the issue now, perhaps she and her officials might write to me. My understanding of the current position is that the assessment is carried out in a hospital setting and that is why I state "either-or", and in a number of cases where the person's desire is to return home, it is carried out in the home as well. This is why I stated earlier that we could get bogged down in the entire assessment process. When the opportunity arises, perhaps the Minister of State would pencil a note to me on that issue. In my initial contribution I also mentioned the participation of family members in a case conference on such assessment, their role and how they will be accommodated in that regard, and I ask for clarification on that.
