That is a good point very well made. My final question is on the six-month period stipulated in the heads. It would not take much imagination to consider an issue arising six, nine or 12 months, or perhaps a number of years, after a conviction where there is a need for an intervention like this. Where did the six months arise? Is the Department open to considering views of this committee or others on it?
