Further to the point about gaps in the services nationwide and across the Border, are there specific examples where improvements could be made? I refer in particular to the cross-Border element and regional or marginalised Border areas. Is Ms Charnley aware of a need for enhanced services along the Border region at present? Is there anything the committee can do to try to advance and lobby for an improvement in service in those areas? Given her networking and conversations with the hospices across both parts of the island, what is required? Is there a specific gap for adults or children in any of the Border regions?
