I thank the representatives for their ongoing work on this very important issue. A number of months ago, representatives from the Mental Health Commission were in this very room and I asked them about their report.

To say the least, their report was quite damning and unsettling in terms of the provision of child and adolescent mental health services and I asked whether CAMHS in its present format was reformable. They gave me the answer in support. Obviously, the group here today is called Families for Reform of CAMHS. Do they believe CAMHS, in its present format, is reformable in terms of the services their children are not getting, and thousands of other children are not getting?
