I have a last question I would like to raise. I am not sure whether it was Ms McGuinness or Mr. O'Brien who said that the HSE knows exactly what is being paid out and mentioned that the HSE has written to section 38 and section 39 organisations. When people involved in suicide prevention have appeared at this forum, I have asked how many organisations are involved in giving help and advice in the suicide prevention area. I have been told that there are between 350 and 500 such organisations. It is quite a discrepancy. I wonder whether the HSE knows exactly what is being paid out and exactly how many groups are drawing down money in this area.
