I will not delay. The work of the Clare Crusaders, as outlined by Senator Mulcahy, is vital. There is unanimous political support across all parties and including those of no party for the Clare Crusaders to be considered a pilot group under the new system. We are looking for political leadership from the Minister of State to make sure that happens. We know the track record of the HSE. It is a big body that moves incredibly slowly. Political leadership is required to make this happen urgently. There is an awful lot of uncertainty in Clare and among the Clare Crusaders staff, who are primarily volunteers, parents and service users, and we have a responsibility to eliminate it.
