Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

I will begin and will then ask my colleague, Ms Cooney, to address some of the issues that have been coming up through the work by the ESRI. The opportunity to hear families' voices and the voices of individuals will be critical in developing good policy. There has already been some consultation on that and there is a broader NGO group which Ms Cooney works with on developing the statutory scheme. That is absolutely critical. Very important research is being undertaken by the ESRI which has a significant wealth of expertise and experience looking at demand and capacity models. It would be useful if Ms Cooney could give a short description of that.
