Not really, no. My view is what they are doing is not right but they are doing it and we do not have the information. What we have is information from last summer which showed a fall from 4,600 people to 3,900. We have to continue that through this year and accelerate it. I am confident the additional funding, along with the Minister of State, Deputy Butler's political leadership and the clinical leadership of Dr. Burke and others - we have a national operational lead in place - will make a big difference. We are fully committed to making sure children and adolescents get the care they need when they need it.
