I thank the witnesses for the presentation today. I can imagine it must have been very difficult when the service did not have the resources to be able to do the job the witnesses wanted to do to the best of their ability. I am happy to hear that has changed and the service is willing to work with the families here today. It is a positive message being given. One can imagine the circumstances for those families are very difficult, as they live with the heartache of somebody who has been devastated by mental disability or whatever it may be. It is great that the service will work with the families and I ask the witnesses to give them a good understanding and communicate what is going on. That would be great. The witnesses indicated over 100 statements were sent in September but how long will it take to get these to all 2,800 families?
