That is appreciated and understood. The other challenge that I must consider in the overall picture is that, while having advisers in place is a wonderful support, assurance, point of contact and human interaction for families, the services to which people will be directed are insufficient. In terms of funding, I must try to get the balance right between developing services in the community and having people to signpost individuals to those services. I am trying to study that balance and to get not just the geography right, but also the structures in terms of which parts of the HSE they will sit in and to whom they will be accountable. I need to find a few more answers, but I will have them by September. I look forward to working with the all-party Oireachtas committee on developing this service and signposting.
