Why is that specific area standing out? Is there a particular managerial issue? What is the problem in North Lee and South Lee? That is the area I am in, particularly North Lee. Last Friday night I was with a family and their teenage son. In April, it was established that he needed to be seen by a consultant. It is now ten weeks later and they have not even been given an appointment. I am aware that this is a different scenario but I spent an hour with the family in their house because of their concern. Why is there a particular problem in this area?
