Mr. Bernard Gloster:

It is not a funding issue. On the availability of staff, which I discussed with Deputy Munster, we are up against all the other services that are looking to recruit those professionals, which makes it a competitive environment and the work is especially challenging. Some CDNTs are working well because they are staffed and functioning. There are professional differences about whether it is the best model, but it is the chosen model and we expect people to work with it. I certainly do not think we should be in position in any area that people are not having their calls returned. I would not stand over that. Regardless of waiting lists and pressures on people, I have certain basic expectations of the significant number of staff who are in those services, including that they at least keep parents informed. We are trying to supplement the support for parents, as I mentioned earlier to Deputy Verona Murphy. Next week, I hope we will publish a list of organisations CDNTs can use to support parents with different types of play intervention, such as play therapy, music therapy, equine therapy and so on, and family support. All that does not replace what should be in the CDNT, but it is difficult.
