I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I missed a good chunk of them so I apologise if I am repeating a question. Earlier there was an intimation that if we intervene sooner and deal with intergenerational trauma, we can save a lot of money for the State. Have particular studies been done on that or does anybody have empirical evidence in respect of it? It is very significant. Not only would we be helping individuals but also the taxpayer.
