I am disappointed with the reply. As the Minister of State said, the idea is to keep people mobile and independent. This is, therefore, a reasonable request. I understand the Minister cannot make law for one person, but I have also been contacted by the Diabetic Association of Ireland and there are a number of young people in this position. They no longer have anybody caring for them because they are old enough to care for themselves and are managing their insulin very well, but they need support to travel to and from their hospital appointments. I am not happy with the response and do not know what I can do or say to encourage the Minister to look at this case more favourably.
