We spoke about statutory obligations. I have just received a message from one person on the mother and baby homes medical card who sought physiotherapy and was told to go private because of the long waiting list. Where is the statutory obligation there? How does that person overcome that? I fully appreciate the Minister's officials will have informed her of the answers that she is delivering to us today but how does this person get into physiotherapy if the waiting lists are so long? The person is being advised by the organisation that is charged with looking after them to go private. Who is going to pay for that?
