I hear what Ms Shortt is saying but it is important that it is the experience of the child that comes through this structure, which is designed to be supportive. However we might design how staff are moved around in terms of co-location in order that we can get specialists quickly into the right rooms they need to be in, it is important that the experience of the child needs to be very much separate from that of an adult, perhaps on the other side of a wall, because of the need of co-location for staffing reasons. That is all I would say.
