A lot of the amendments are along the same theme and are similar to Committee Stage and the Second Stage debate, which I contributed to. I do not know if the Minister of State is accepting amendments, but what is more important is the principle that she is hearing what is being said and showing a willingness to engage and be responsive to what she is hearing. I have a number of questions and queries in relation to the system as it exists from people affected. For example, what is the complaints mechanism for bringing a complaint against the DSS if one has a complaint? What is the degree to which IHREC is assessing the legislation, if it is doing that? If it is not, why not? There is concern, and this was raised with me at a constituency clinic, that assessments are being done without notification being given to families where it applies, such as in the case of wards resident in nursing homes. It seems the system is not working in a joined-up way that allows it to communicate effectively with whomever it needs to communicate with. Regardless of whether she is accepting amendments or not, the Minister of State is hearing clearly what is being said about the willingness to engage, meet and ensure that the system is robust and responsive.
