Ms Anne O'Connor:

No. That is what we are aiming for. I cannot give a guarantee because it is reliant on recruitment. We hope that we will have graduates come through our system over the summer. The Deputy will be aware that we have previously closed some of those beds during the summer. The demand for CAMHS beds in the summer months is 40% lower every year. The number of beds in Linn Dara has decreased by 11. We are recruiting and trying to get those beds open again for September.
