Thank you. I want to move on to another area in which I have a big interest, that of mental health. One aspect is the area of early intervention in psychosis. I was very disappointed to receive a reply to a parliamentary question during the week stating there is no new funding for early intervention in psychosis team development in 2023. I wonder what impact that is going to have on people who require that service. At the moment, 0% of children under the age of 18 have access to early intervention in psychosis.
