I have one last question on dual diagnoses. I do not mean to say that it is a problem specific to Galway currently, but I refer to the issues for a child who has autism in my area. The Galway Autism Partnership, GAP, group, had come under the mental health services but must now change how it does business, perhaps because it is in the wrong space. There is a transition of moving the children on to a different level, but a lot of children who have not yet had an assessment are now in sixth class and are going into first year of secondary school. Parents are panicking. Will there be support and funding from the mental health services? Will funding be left to support families and children with dual diagnoses?
