I will follow on from earlier discussions about early intervention and how, when we miss that opportunity, we end up dealing with cases that are more complex. I would also like to hear more about our guests' engagement with mental health services, addiction services and so on. We keep talking about no wrong door, one single door and so on. We do an awful lot of talking about it rather than seeing it in action. There is a lack of capacity, which we have already spoken about, extending from social workers right through to foster carers. I am also interested in any follow-up legislation that is required or powers that are needed to deal with the huge level of need.
