Thank you. To give one example, we had a client who came to us recently who was suicidal. She was moved from Billy to Jack and from Jack to Billy, and she just could not find any services. She was suicidal, she was on the verge, really and truly, and it was only that one of our counsellors worked with her through this that, as she says herself, it prevented her from actually doing the act. There were no joined-up services available for her to really get the help she needed. I need to say that today. I would love to work with the Minister of State on that at some point, if that is okay.
