Regarding future research, will the Scottish model be examined? Is that seen as being the way forward for Ireland? It has been said it is a model that is clearly working in Scotland, where a similar cohort of people is affected. If we are talking about rewriting the model in Ireland, would the Scottish approach be the nearest one that is functional or would examples from further afield be considered? Egypt was mentioned, for example, where there is a different type of model but similar challenges.
