Dr. Amanda Burke:
The head of service for mental health. At this stage, however, people are asking whether they can just wait to see how this works out. There is a reason for that. I am going to take attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, as an example because that accounts for the highest proportion of people we have on the waiting list. If we remotely assess a young person as having ADHD and say that part of his or her treatment plan is medication, we cannot do that remotely at this moment in time.
