I think most of the questions have been asked already, so I am not going to go back over them. I wanted to ask two questions in particular of Dr. Eogan and Ms Noeline Blackwell. They relate to funding of both units. Are they adequately funded because both units do an amazing amount of work? The second question is on consent and respectful relationships. I would like to see where we can take the area of education, because it comes in under three different points referenced earlier. It is a major block of work that needs to be addressed and I am keen to hear input from the witnesses.
