That is a really important point. The committee is well aware that we are constantly referring to other legislation while we are trying to deal with this legislation. I do not want to use the word "frustrating" but it is no small thing. The witnesses' submission pointed us to the report from the UN regarding Ireland and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. One of those recommendations refers to the prevention of suicide and strengthening the prevention of suicide among people under 18. Have the witnesses any thoughts on that with regard to inpatient facilities and what this legislation could or should be doing?
