Thinking about embedded care, and obviously it cannot be the same as in a college setting, but I recall that when I was at UCC, there was a GP surgery downstairs, a mental health service upstairs, a physiotherapist around the corner and a nurse for other things. Obviously, that is one particular setting but all of the care options were provided. It would relieve some of the pressure, as Dr. Ní Dhálaigh has said, if GPs were able to decide how to use that funding themselves and direct it as best they see fit within their own practices. I will leave it at that.
