That is a very important question. Any of the children who would be coming through the PDS model and who would be on it would be seen as having complex multidisciplinary needs. The child referred back into primary care would be seen as needing a singular need, whether it be the speech and language need or the occupational therapy need. It would not be the need of a multidisciplinary piece, so they should slot across. That is why, in the roll out of PDS, we have 91 PDS networks and 96 primary care networks, so one will not overlay the other so there is that fluid transition across.
