Representatives from all the CHOs have been before the committee. They were forthcoming and gave us their time. I ask Mr. Kane to widen the consultation to ensure communities are not left out. Using three locations is too narrow. That is not a criticism. Reference was made to the child and adolescent mental health service, CAMHS, but Galway is one of the areas that has the required 22 CAMHS beds. That is still not enough but that process needs to be reviewed. I ask that the oversight group would link in with the Chairman on this.
