Could the Minister talk about the lack of mental health services for children? Has that had any impact on the number of children who are ending up in care as a result of families just not being able to cope with them? Is that an issue that has come to the Minister's attention? I have spoken to a few people who are working in that area. They are working with primarily private and outsourced foster care companies and they are telling me that it is an issue they have come across.
