Ms Rachel Downes:

Yes. It is only for this year the numbers have dropped below 2,000.

From the point of view of the best service to a survivor, if one person is trying to manage 200, it is difficult to give them the best service. That is why we had a waiting list. We wanted to ensure that we were providing the best service possible. As numbers decrease, we do find we are in a much better position to offer that personalised service.
