I will very quickly conclude. Some 4,400 children are waiting to get access to services. As we can see from the opening statements, even children who get into the services are not getting the treatment or supports they need. Following this hearing, there is definitely a need for us to follow up with the HSE and CAMHS at some stage over the next number of months. It is not good enough that responses have not been given to this group which has submitted detailed questions. There are very serious issues being raised. There was the report by the Mental Health Commission, and we are being told it will not be implemented in full. There was the UN report. There are surveys coming from parents which reflect many of the challenges. I would argue, a Chathaoirligh, that we should follow this up with the HSE. I thank our witnesses for their advocacy work and for their attendance today.
