In Deputy Buckley's and in all our offices, we hear the whole time of early intervention. The Ombudsman is probably hearing it as well. There seems to be dragging of heels the whole time. I am sure children are falling through cracks because of the lack of early intervention and the lack of SNAs.

There are constant complaints related to mental health and it is often related to the effects of the pandemic. Those complaints tend to be around waiting lists. Has the Ombudsman's office any remit in examining that?
