To clarify, the reply I received to my parliamentary question of 5 July, which was answered on 19 July, was as follows: "The proposal to establish a cross-governmental youth mental health Pathfinder team with participation from the Department of Health, the Department of Education & Skills and the Department of Children & Youth Affairs has Civil Service Management Board and Ministerial approval." That is there in writing and is nailed down. I do not want any misinformation, although I am not saying anyone else is saying that. It is just to have clarity for people who are looking in here.
