I thank Ms Cummins. I have to run out of this meeting as I am on the Joint Committee for Children, Disability, Equality and Integration meeting at the same time and I must pop in there.

The top four emotions mentioned were that people were bored, depressed, stressed and anxious. Those are perfectly normal feelings especially during what we are going through at the moment, but as Ms Cummins said, early intervention is key to stop those feelings from becoming more acute as a result of which young people will need more acute services. If you can give the young people the services they need now, that would make a big difference. I really appreciate the feedback from the meeting and I appreciate CARE for taking the time to meet myself and Deputy Cullinane a couple of weeks ago. I wish everyone well.
