Mr. Michael Mason:

Unfortunately, within services, you are nearly pitted one against the other for funding. That makes interagency work extremely difficult at times. Looking at a national level, FASN, a peer-led organisation, has worked alongside the RISE Foundation. We have seen how interagency work can be beneficial to everyone. It is about looking at the work that can be done between agencies and having someone to oversee that to look at best practice. Even in the context of peer support, it is beneficial. We talked about peer evaluation of delivery and best practice. This is what is needed in order that everyone throughout the country receives the same service.
