That brings me onto mental health. Particularly at school level, it strikes me that services for mental health have begun to be embraced in a very real way over the last few years. This was possibly encouraged by the Covid pandemic and children's experience of it. The idea that there is a genetic link deals with that in the home to some extent but how can we support children in schools? How can we support teams going into schools? At the moment, it is proposed that teams would go to various schools or that they would have a group of schools they go to. Is standalone training being looked at or would an expert in this area or in women's health, or someone with training in women's health, be needed to advise younger women who might not understand what they are dealing with?
