I welcome our witnesses and thank them for their reports. Regarding the variation in terms of spending across the CAMH service, particularly the €40 to €92 per capita variation, is that caused by a local need or investment in outdated services or structures? What is the main cause of that? There is a significant difference - more than double - that needs to be addressed because if that is a symptom of what is happening across the board, it is a serious problem.
