Ms Yvonne O'Neill:

I refer to a points raised by Deputy Sherlock earlier. I was saying that one of the important constructs in the context of meeting children's needs is the national access policy, which is the first point of contact we want families to have in respect of the assessment, and would facilitate us beginning to understand the needs, from the least complex to the most complex. Members will be aware that comes through the primary care structures we have and the investment in the teams at primary care level. I do not deny that there are gaps in those teams, just as we are discussing the same types of challenges in disability, but each CHO is implementing the access policy within the resource available to it and we are committed to that as a significant construct and support infrastructure for meeting needs, from the least complex to the most complex.
