Ms Anne O'Connor:

The streaming of children into services is what we are trying to achieve through the PTA, but as Mr. Reid said, given the High Court ruling, we have to go back and look at it in a different way. Our priority is to get children into intervention and to be able to provide supports to them and their families as early as possible because, as the Deputy knows, the earlier the intervention, the better for everybody.
