I am out of time. My final question relates to mental health support services for prison officers and for Prison Service staff in general. Human nature determines that stresses in the workplace go beyond the workplace and extend to people who do not work within the Prison Service. Given the nature of the work, does Ms McCaffrey think it would be appropriate for the Prison Service to provide these services to family members on an ad hocbasis as a matter of course?
