There are five minutes remaining. I will ask one question and will then hand over to Ms Duggan for a closing remark. She mentioned the stepdown placements from special care. Witnesses who were previously before the committee talked about special care and wanting an in-between high-support service or placement. Is that already in place? Is that what a stepdown placement is? Does Ms Duggan see room for a middle ground, perhaps when a court order is finished but a child is not able to go to general foster care? Is there space for something else?
