My first of three questions is addressed to Dr. Brendan O'Shea.

Will Dr. O'Shea indicate the changes that need to be made from the perspective of general practitioners? My second question is to Mr. Gilligan. I have visited mental health services all over the country and there seems to be a disconnect between public and private, or independent, services. Why is there a disconnect and what does Mr Gilligan suggest we might do to improve the situation? My third question is to Professor McNicholas. I am stunned to hear that the beds she mentioned are not included in the emergency beds for children out of hours. To be honest, it frightens me. Could she elaborate a little on that, particularly as I am not sure that everyone understands the importance of her remarks?
