Ms Anne O'Connor:
Our priority is to go back. We have had to contact the children who have been assessed under the PTA to see if they want to go for assessments. They do not have to go for assessments. There are priorities to reassess those people if that is what the parents want. On working through a new model, as Mr. Reid said, we only kicked-off that engagement last week or the week before with the Minister and stakeholders across our statutory services and, equally, some of the organisations we work with. That work is under way and I would have to come back to the Deputy with a timeframe.
