Dr. Morris mentioned how desperate parents could sometimes see a diagnosis as a panacea, in that, once they got a diagnosis, the rest of the supports would follow. Many people who have been in touch with me accessed private diagnoses. Is the delay in regulating psychology under CORU having an impact on people not getting the appropriate care they need? As we saw on "Prime Time" recently, diagnoses were being made by people who were not qualified to make them and were not being regulated. Is the delay having an impact?
