I have a supplementary question. I imagine the family's reaction will be one of grave disappointment because my understanding is they are already availing of this treatment. Am I to understand from the Minister of State's response that the conditions attached to the scheme for travelling to the United Kingdom were not met because of the views of the treating consultant psychiatrist? I hope the consultant psychiatrist in question is not taking on too much responsibility that could place a life at risk. The Minister of State should clarify whether the conditions attached to the aforementioned scheme were not met because of the views of the treating consulting psychiatrist.
