I thank the witnesses as well. I have a question about under-18s admitted to adult inpatient units. Head 128, section 108, "Admission of a child to an adult approved inpatient facility", still provides for the admission of under-18s to adult facilities. Under the reporting mechanisms of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Ireland was instructed to end the practice of admitting under-18s to adult facilities. With the State report and review next year, how would the commission envisage the involvement of under-18s in the development of codes of practice and rules etc.? I want to get the witnesses' thoughts on that and on the section on under-18s.
