Apologies that I had to run out. I am on the same page as Deputy Carrigy having worked with families in my other role and seeing the benefit. I absolutely agree. The ask is that RPM becomes part of the suite. There is no denying the need for the evidence base. Now, I am a dinosaur. I qualified from an institute down the road 38 years ago and anecdotal evidence was what came before the clinical trials. If anecdotal evidence provided enough of a measured, positive outcome, that was then the stimulus to set up a clinical trial or a scoping programme. The ask is that this would be included. It will work for some children and teens and it will not work for others. Therefore, they have options.
