I want to ask a supplementary question on that because it came up in respect of the 3,500 children who are on the CAMHS waiting list. In response to a parliamentary question, I was recently told that 4,900 children were refused a service by CAMHS because they were deemed inappropriate after being referred to it by a medical expert. I do not have an answer for this but what happens to these children? At one stage a medical expert deems that they need a service in CAMHS and then they are deemed inappropriate for it. Are they referred on somewhere else? Is there any reason they were deemed inappropriate? Parents have got in touch with me who have children who might have a dual diagnosis, who may be on the autism spectrum and who have mental health difficulties. They feel their children were turned away based on these issues. Could Dr. Doody comment on that?
