That is my next question. I want to discuss the private sector in terms of assessment of needs and so forth. How confident is the group in certain groupings and individuals in terms of assessments? It is quite arbitrary. The Mental Health Commission in its report said there was no regulation at all. If there is no regulation at all in terms of the assessment of a child then alarm bells are ringing in a serious way.
