I have a particular view on the CDNTs, and this is not to take away from people within them doing huge work. It is a positive model. The witnesses spoke earlier about the communication failures in relation to where parents are. In fairness, Mr. Bernard Gloster also said that those who had a more positive view of CDNTs were those who had a single point of contact or somebody they could have a conversation with. I imagine that made up for this communication deficit. The witnesses stated that. There needs to be a solution on this. I have seen it myself with parents. Some of it is frustration that is borne out of the fact that sometimes they do not get anything from an assessment through to therapies. All they have is frustration and then they are actually waiting, and on some level they are imagining that the therapies they will get are going to be phenomenal, but it is this thing that is removed from them. It is about dealing with the communication piece.
