I would also like to ask about the disability side of the mental health issue. How is the integration going on, particularly for young people who present with issues relating to CAMHS, ADHD and Asperger's syndrome? As the witnesses are probably aware, approximately 200 young people were on the CAMHS waiting list in Galway. There was a complete overhaul 12 months ago. Now there is a disability element. They were put over to the other side. Have the 200 people who were moved to disability from CAMHS, which they had been on to begin with, been seen? What is the update on that?
