I want to ask about the need for a continuum of care. I heard Professor Lucey speaking recently on the radio about the difficulties with upstream services. There is a lot of focus on CAMHS but there should be a lot of support, services and help available to people long before they get to CAMHS. The commission talks about developing a model. A plethora of different organisations provide different types of support, services and counselling. There is the HSE counselling, the psychological services and the psychology and primary care service. It is incredibly disjointed.
