With regard to the CAMHS waiting list, where would CHO 4 like to be at the end of the year?

If Mr. Reaney cannot answer that today, I ask that he forward the information to the committee in writing because it would be helpful for us to know.

In terms of the increasing rate of homelessness and the crisis in that regard that all present know exists, to what extent have the services provided by organisations such as Cork Simon Community that are co-located or funded by the HSE kept pace or held their own with the increase in homelessness? I refer, for example, to the community psychiatric nurses, CPNs, and psychiatrists based on Anderson's Quay. I would like some reassurance on that issue because there is such a correlation between homelessness and mental ill health issues.
