Mr. John Farrelly:

I will also ask Dr. Finnerty and Mr. Kiernan to speak to this. It is very important that we have a system where people get the service they need. We all know that for the most vulnerable people, including those the Senator has mentioned, the services really are not there for them. Decongregation is not really a concept within mental health. It started in 1984. We have these approved centres and residential centres out in the community with ten or 11 people, but we have not built the facilities the Senator is talking about. There is not, therefore, anything to pause. We need to build the places for all of these people.
