I thank Dr. Finnerty for that answer.

Mr. Farrelly mentioned how the mental health tribunals were able to continue. Were there any challenges? Was there a sufficient number of tribunal members to be able to deliver? Were there any legislative challenges, including in terms of meeting remotely? Is there anything we should be considering in case we face delivery challenges in the future? Are there positive lessons that have been learned or mistakes whose recurrence we need to prevent?
