That is welcome. I thank Dr. Duffy.

I will move on. Both Jigsaw and USI representatives might be able to answer this question because both mentioned Sharing the Vision and extending CAMHS to people up to the age of 25. In the recent reports from the Mental Health Commission, we saw there was what was called a cliff edge, where young people lost follow-ups. At the age of 18, they went to adult services and there was seen to be a loss of follow-ups on the young people, who were not getting the same care that they needed. USI’s opening statement mentioned that brain development is not complete until the mid-20s. The evidence is there. I know Jigsaw mentioned it as well in relation to the Sharing the Vision recommendation and the extension of CAMHS from 12 to 18 years to 12 to 25 years. What are our guests’ thoughts on that? How can we best help them have that? My party and I have been pushing a long time for the Government to follow up on that commitment of Sharing the Vision and increase CAMHS to age 25.
