On the RPM, it is whatever pieces work. We do not want children not getting what will make a difference.

We have all had the silo piece. The issue for an awful lot of parents and schools is about strategies for de-escalation from moments.

Therapies will play a part, but at times we also need to find a way to provide them with that. We keep talking about a one-stop shop and no wrong door but it is about delivering that. The liaison person needs to be provided as quickly as possible.

According to the most recent reply I got to a parliamentary question, the CDNTs are missing 445.3 positions. I assume there are suppressed posts on top of that. Are there difficulties with getting those people employed?
