Ms Martina Queally:

The idea is to have a front door where there is a multidisciplinary team and a triage, for want of a better word, where children's applications are assessed. The needs of the children are understood and they are directed to the correct service. This is so they go to the right services the first time. It is so people do not, as has been described, go from one to another. That is the idea. It means that the multidisciplinary team is needed, so the expertise is around the table to understand the demand. Good pathways of care that are agreed with the disciplines are also needed in order that the transition is seamless for the child. That is the theory. However, to get that, the pathways of care have to be established. In addition, good administrative systems are needed in order that what the Deputy described will not happen. We do not want people lost to follow-up or administrative error where we lose referrals. The clinical pathways and administrative pathways needs to be working correctly in order that the administration system works when patients come in.
