I thank Professor O'Keane. I am sorry I missed some of the professor's presentation but I have read it. I will not apologise for anybody who has spoken in the last few moments but it was not proper or appropriate that one of our guests would be spoken to in such a manner or had to witness it, but I will continue.

The questions I had prepared for Professor O'Keane are as follows. We have heard in previous sessions about the difficulty of quantifying risk and serious risk in respect of physical health. Is it possible to quantify risk or serious risk in relation to mental health? That is one of my questions. Will I ask the two questions together?
