I welcome the witnesses. I have some questions for the Courts Service on the transition. What mechanisms are in place for that? Are there sufficient mechanisms, in the opinion of the witnesses, to allow for that and allow for co-ordination between relevant bodies and the Courts Service? The National Advocacy Service mentioned in its introduction that implementation is more than just enacting legislation, and it called for resources and training. What is in place currently? What needs to be put in place to ensure there are sufficient supports in place for people?
