That is good to hear. My final question is also about gaps in services. Dual diagnosis arises when people are suffering from a mental health issue and addiction. Deputy Buckley, who spoke earlier, has made further progress in reading the proposed Bill than I have at this stage but I tried to go through a fair bit of it over the past week. It is complex. Is provision made in the proposed Bill in relation to people admitted to mental health services who have an addiction as well as a mental health issue? Is there anything in it that would help them in the provision of care?
