May I make one comment on that same question in relation to young children who present in autism, mental health or whatever? Sometimes children are referred to three different teams - primary care, CAMHS and the National Educational Psychological Service, NEPS, because the person making the referral might not be able to determine which is appropriate. If we could verify some of the waiting lists, it would be very helpful because we know some people are on multiple waiting lists and it is important to acknowledge that.
