Ms Helen Hall:

If one does not have that multi-agency approach, the budgeting piece that comes across and that information, it is quite difficult to say to somebody "you need to give up your money in order for that person to get an intervention earlier". The legislation will be important there to have the true multi-agency piece. The Deputy is right. One can save when looking at the cost of probation services, prison services and court services. If they are measured against an investment at preschool, it would be a no-brainer in terms of cost benefit.
