As politicians, it is not uncommon that we would come across cases where families have brought a loved one to the emergency department, they have been released and then there has been a suicide. There is a tsunami of that across the State, as we know, but we do not have the figures until a year or two down the road. We hear those stories quite often about the families who have tried to get help and how we have failed as a society in relation to this. Would that be common for your members?
