I want to bring up the issue of the regulation of child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS. This issue was brought to me by a constituent and a member of Families for Reform of CAMHS. They call for support for urgent regulation of CAMHS under the Mental Health Act. My colleague Deputy Mark Ward has legislation that is right to go in relation to this. We all know the issues that exist in relation to CAMHS. We know the ping pong game that can happen around particular silos in the context of primary care, children's disability network teams and all the other issues.

I could read out the information one mother sent me in regard to her two children, an 18-year-old and a 14-year-old.
