Text

I join you, Minister, and Nuala in welcoming the families who are in the Public Gallery. If we feel horrified when reading the report, how do they feel, given that they have been living through that experience with their loved ones? Minister, I am working with members of one of the families, and, after everything that they have endured, they remain anxious about whether their loved one is safe and receiving appropriate care and whether she will ever be placed in the appropriate secure accommodation that she requires. That family, like many others, feels that its battle has not ended with the inquiry report, as the families are still fighting for appropriate services and living arrangements for their loved ones. What assurances can you give to those families, who have already been terribly impacted on, that their concerns will be listened to and their loved ones will be placed in the appropriate accommodation that they deserve?
