I met that group last October and will meet it again shortly. We contacted it today. I was not in the House on Tuesday. Regarding anybody who wants to make a complaint against the HSE, it falls under "Your Service Your Say" but there is no doubt that many families have children with a dual diagnosis, be it autism, intellectual disabilities and mental health, where the pathway is not as clear as it should be. We are working on that. I had a round-table meeting with the HSE to see whether we can find clearer pathways. The 2% of children who need the support of CAMHS will always have to have a primary diagnosis of mental health problems first and that is where some of the challenges arise, but we are looking at it. Your Service Your Say is the way at the moment to make a complaint.
