Thank you, Minister, for your response. Avalon House in Omagh was used for respite care for those young people. During COVID, that was closed and made into a full-time facility for a few patients, leaving young people in Omagh who have a disability or a learning difficulty and their families with no place to go for respite care. What message will I take back today to those families, whom I have met, about the provision of such care in the Omagh area, where they have nothing at this time?
