I do not believe I heard about the cost of the CfD so could the witnesses forward it to me? Is play therapy on the witnesses' radar? A few people have contacted me about it and it seems a very good early intervention technique. When Dr. O'Shea appeared before the Committee on the Future of Healthcare, he strongly advocated for a new GP contract as being critical to any progress. We are a good year down the road. Has any progress been made and is there anything we can do as elected members to help him get this critical factor over the line?
