I apologise for not being present earlier. Several meetings are clashing.

It is great that there is such good feedback on the model. While we all need to ensure there is awareness and information, funding will be the biggest issue. There is a good model that the witnesses know they can work with and pass on to other counties, but where will the funding come from? Have the witnesses been in talks with the HSE or other agencies? Funding is crucial. Do the witnesses have proposals for this? Have they talked to other agencies about rolling it out across the country?
