That is a very valid point. Ms Lewis raised a very important point in her statement about the lack of supports for people who have experienced abuse to potentially pursue an alleged abuser through court. The State should be encouraging and standing behind that pursuit of justice. The idea of an advocate is fantastic. It is going to be essential. In terms of what One in Four needs, this is where we run into difficulties. Telling a person they are entitled to something does not mean that service or resource will materialise. It just gives a person an entitlement. It does not mean they are going to receive the support in a timely manner. In terms of the psychotherapy and counselling that One in Four supports, what does the organisation actually need to be able to meet the requirements of the service users or those who will benefit from the Bill?
