Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The simple reality is that, specifically on the assessment of need, which we just mentioned, we have an outsourced framework. A lot of psychologists will tend to work at weekends and other things on those initiatives. Psychology is not as amenable to this type of intervention as the other therapies. The number of psychologists now employed in the health service has exponentially grown from what it was. Anything we can do to increase the response, we are doing. I did say here at the committee last week that we are going to also have to find further pathways and different ways of supporting children and families, as opposed to just the traditional model of referring everything into one discipline like psychology. No matter how many people we train, we would not meet that need.
