I asked a question about private places because I want to inquire about a case, which I know is more HSE-orientated, whereas there is a 15-year-old young man with very serious behavioural problems who will be handed over into the care of his mother and, inevitably, there will be serious problems with the kids in that family. That situation is very frustrating. I do not know the qualifications of many of the people who work in these private places and I am sure that our guests are aware of these places. Ms O'Keeffe mentioned participation in multidisciplinary teams. Can I assume that behaviour analysts are tied into the main hospitals and are part of their multidisciplinary teams?
