I thank the witnesses. It has been a fantastic couple of hours. I asked Ms Farrell if she gets tired of it at times, and Ms Bardon has just said it. After baring her soul like this today, it takes time to get her energy levels back up again. When we leave this meeting we are not finished with this, and I know the witnesses are not finished with it because they are living with it daily. I hope we will help to make our guests' lives better and to make family lives better, because many people's lives are affected when something happens and a member of the family acquires a brain injury. I know this and I have experience of it locally. The witnesses are a credit to themselves, their families and this country. It is beholden on us to take on board what they have said and, hopefully, we will try to progress things so there will be a co-ordinated approach and the problems they face are recognised and dealt with. Hopefully, the committee will do something to help our guests along the way. I thank them. I really appreciate their time.
