I have one final question. I know it is a difficult question, but for those families and young people who use vital services such as Linn Dara, when the beds are reopened come September, could the same issue with recruitment and retention of staff arise again in three to four years' time? Obviously, if seven beds are not being used, young people who need intervention are not getting it, and time is of the essence with services such as this. That is why many public representatives are deeply concerned about facilities such as Linn Dara having to suspend temporarily some of the inpatient beds. If that has happened, it will have a ripple effect not only on the staff who work there but also on the young people who will need the services. Can Ms O'Kelly guarantee this will not happen again? People will want to know whether we will be in the same situation in two or three years' time.
