Did Mr. McCann wish to respond? I will make a comment while he unmutes himself. I can only imagine the trauma of what ambulance and fire brigade personnel must face on a daily basis. With my therapist hat on, we are committed to getting supervision for some of the work that we do. What we do is nothing compared to the trauma dealt with by ambulance and fire brigade personnel. Could supervision be considered? I understand that this all comes down to resources but it is vital that workers in this area be supported whereby they can have supervision and speak about the trauma they meet on a daily basis. They could encounter not one, but two, three or four major traumas per day. I cannot imagine how they do that and then go home and try to live normal lives. It is extremely stressful and should be addressed.

I see that Mr. Ray has raised his hand. Does he want to reply?
