I think we all acknowledge that the NEPS psychologists are definitely stretched in terms of covering all the schools. The target for 2015 is that every school would have access to NEPS psychologists. That does not mean they have as much as the Senator or I would want them to have, but it is a service that has not been as well resourced as we would like. Our target was to ensure that every school would have access to NEPS.
