I thank the Minister of State for his response. While I understand exactly what he is saying - I believe he is saying that it will be considered down the line - one group that needs to be looked at is young adults who have to live in care and are on the minimum amount of money they can receive. There are many outgoings and a burden is placed on the family. I implore the Minister of State to look at these vulnerable young adults who have a disability and are on a very limited income and ask him to ensure that the prescription charges for them are reduced in the next round.
