There were some other comments. I will come back to the issue of recruitment but my second point is on the legislation. I was listening to the meeting virtually as I was coming in and there was discussion on the age. I was very interested in that. I apologise because, although I was listening, I did not get to see who was making the comments. Someone spoke about how a child is defined as someone aged under 16 in paediatric hospitals but as someone aged under 18 in this type of legislation, child and adolescent mental health, CAMHS, units and other mental health facilities. What would be required to align those age profiles? What is the logic behind the age being 18 for CAMHS and, I am guessing, for legal services? I direct that question to Professor Doody. He may have commented on it previously.
