We must ensure we get matters right in the context of the creation of the new child and family support agency. I hope the Minister and his Department will, in conjunction with the Joint Committee on Health and Children, consider how we should proceed in that regard. The proposed new directorate of mental health is most welcome.

The Minister is in charge of his brief and wants reform to be achieved. People should join him in that task, rather than criticising him.
