I am going to move on. There were two areas we did not address on gaps in services. One was residential treatment for females, and the other area is the childcare needs of those who are in residential care. Can the Minister of State send us a note in regard to that? I do not have time to bring in Mr. Gould, my apologies. He might come back to us with a note on those two issues. I thank him and his officials for coming in this morning. It was a very useful discussion. As Chair I have no power in regard to the input from members on what they say or the questions they ask but I think it reflects the challenges that are out there in regard to this issue that people have various views on the way forward. I thank the Minister of State and his officials for coming in. It was useful. Anyone who is listening in who is in difficulty and needs treatment, there are supports out there.
