I thank the witnesses. After listening to them all speak today, I feel our perinatal services are in very good hands. If only the practitioners could get exactly what they are looking for, we could definitely be one of the leading countries in the world in perinatal services, as Deputy Ward said. I feel our perinatal services are in very safe hands. I thank the witnesses for their passion in this area in particular. I wish all our health services staff were as passionate as the witnesses are. I thank the representatives of the Psychology Society of Ireland, the HSE and the National Maternity Hospital for contributing to this discussion on perinatal mental health. We will definitely to our best to support the organisations represented going forward. We will highlight the issues raised as much as we possibly can going forward.
