I welcome the Minister's absolute certainty with regard to what the Bill does and does not do. I take his point about the HSE not responding to anyone in the past in a reliable way. However, should I take from what he said that the legislation will not improve the position for anyone? If, for example, a psychologist makes a recommendation to the effect that a child needs speech therapy which is education based, the HSE could state that, in the context of resources, it is not possible to provide such a service. That would bring us back to square one. What would improve for the child involved? I accept that the NCSE, an autonomous body, will be involved and that it is linked with the Department of Education and Skills. However, I am still trying to identify how what is proposed represents an improvement for children who require services. Will the Minister outline the nature of that improvement?
