While I understand that, I wish to raise it as a matter of importance. Given the circumstances that apply in this case and the wish of everybody to bring the matter to conclusion, consideration should be given to amending the tribunal's terms.

Deputy Neville has been a consistent advocate for taking some real action in respect of implementing the recommendations of the task force on suicide, which reported in 1998. I recently attended the funeral of a young man who hanged himself. A serious societal change is occurring. It is impossible for Deputies from all sides who have attended funerals all over the country in these circumstances to understand the depth of grief of parents and loved ones. In some cases, it is impossible to find the reason these events happened.
