That is the core of what I am asking, in terms of the short term. The HSE has funded an information line staffed by AsIAm. TikTok was mentioned. Too many people are going online to look for information. They need to go where they can get the correct information and not where almost 75% of what they see is not correct. We need the Government and Department to support those working in community groups which are rolling out information sessions that give the facts to families, in particular. That is the idea behind initiatives such as a one-stop shop. They need to be in every county in order that people can be given the right path and correct information in terms of what supports are available. It is very similar to the work we have been doing over the past 12 months.
