I thank the Deputy for his questions. I will answer on the ADHD piece. The Deputy stated that the clinic is closed. My understanding is that it is not closed but it is not taking any additional referrals at the moment. I have written to the mental health unit there because I do not agree with that approach. Approximately 40% of all children referred to CAMHS will be diagnosed with ADHD. It is important that those children have access to supports. I only became aware of this in recent days. My understanding is that the clinic is not taking any additional referrals, but I will revert to the Deputy on the matter.
