Yes. I wrote down a question I was going to ask on the summer programme. It is an issue we put quite a strong focus on as a committee because of the lack of schools, especially special schools, providing the programme. In some of our discussions we have spoken about an occupational therapy programme and therapists going in, or perhaps third- or fourth-year students in the colleges being employed for the summer to build up that relationship. They would get experience of working in the summer programme and give extra services to kids and families when they need it. What is Ms O'Kelly's view on that?
