My final point is in regard to those people who on leaving secondary school were due to transition from children's services into adult services and for whom, as for all of us, everything was turned upside down in March. Many of them may have concerns regarding transport. I accept this is not a matter that comes directly within the remit of the witnesses. Could interim services or, perhaps, an interim programme be put in place for them for this September-October?

Many will not be able to move directly to adult services because of everything that has happened and the uncertainty that exists. People came to me in February and March to ask about transport and then all of this happened. Everything is up in the air for those families, and they have had a difficult few months. Can anything be looked at in terms of an interim measure before people transition if there is going to be a gap?
