Ms Anne O'Connor:

We have assistant psychologists in place in mental health. That was an effort to improve the waiting list in respect of young people and come in under the primary care banner. We are looking to roll-out the model across our enhanced community care programme and primary care. It is not straightforward. Not everyone is for it. We are reviewing how it is working in mental health. It is a way of trying to get more capacity in and we are working on the system based on what we have learned on mental health.
