I welcome everyone to the meeting. I will stick with some of the issues just discussed. The committee has been discussing the Sharing the Vision policy and its implementation, as well as the document published last year by the Minister of State, Deputy Butler. On the transition age moving from 18 to 25, that is a good indicator of how much integration we are actually seeing. We were advised that we had youth mental health transition teams in place under the national implementation and monitoring committee, NIMC. I have a fairly open-ended question on that. How much outreach have NGOs, such as those represented here, experienced from that central body? I will use the example of moving the transition age from 18 to 25 years because that is a big change.
