Could I get the witnesses' comments on mental health because I know Deputy Ellis referred to it? It is an area about which I have serious concerns. Also, we have school intervention but we also have early intervention from age zero to six. Is that working and if so, is it working in different places? Is it restricted in some areas?

Another question concerns the school retention rate. While it is very good in some schools, it is not in others. Everything else I wanted to ask about has already addressed.
