Okay. That would be interesting. I ask Ms Murphy to send that on to us. We have talked quite a bit about the interventions that are needed when somebody presents with mental health problems, but I am particularly interested in the preventative measures mentioned by Dr. Duffy. We need to invest seriously in the preventative measures that are needed. I acknowledge the excellent work that SpunOut and Jigsaw do. I know that Jigsaw is starting in Tipperary and Wicklow. I understand Newbridge and Kildare are next on their list. I have been working with the HSE in trying to find a suitable premises there because it is an area that needs it. Will Dr. Duffy expand on the preventative measures that he believes should be in place so we do not get to a stage where we need urgent interventions?
