Dr. Amanda Burke:
That is absolutely so. We are actively looking at that at the moment. We have engaged with a large provider in the UK to consider online assessments for our waiting list. A clinical group is engaging with that provider at the moment. We hope to stand up one or two sites in August and to see how that works out. People get nervous when we talk about online interventions. The assessment would take place online. It would be completely optional and people could decide to stay on the waiting list. The assessment and some intervention would take place online and the patients would continue to be seen by their local CAMHS teams.
