I thank the witnesses for their comprehensive presentations. With regard to the survey which showed 90% of service providers have not had specific training, for which group in the health care sector does Ms Lacey believe training should be prioritised? Will Dr. Crowley tell the committee what is the programme for the next one to two years in terms of the provision of training? According to the survey, 74% of people indicated they wanted training. Is there a planned approach on this and when is it likely to be rolled out? Which sector needs to be prioritised to ensure those dealing with this issue have the required training and skills?
