That is continual care. I thank Mr. Smart.

I have questions for the Mental Health Commission and Mental Health Reform but I will probably have to put them in the second session because of the few minutes that I have.

I watched very closely the concerns of the IMO with regard to the amendments to the Bill that we have seen from the Minister in recent days, in particular Nos. 74 and 93. There was a reference to bridging the gap in regard to the admission and care pieces. What is the remaining gap that exists? We need to be clear about that when we vote on amendments this evening or the construction of future amendments on Report Stage.
