My final question relates to the last paragraph of the statement from the IMO and private and voluntary organisations that provide mental healthcare. There is a plethora of those organisations. The IMO says in the statement that there should be a requirement to achieve accreditation to international standards. Is there a situation at present where these voluntary bodies or private bodies do not achieve the proper accreditation in respect of standards of care? Are there instances of this happening in the State at present?
