Neasa Hourigan: As I have many questions, I ask the Chair to stop me if I keep going for too long. I have a number of areas to cover, but I want to start with the issue we have just been discussing. It strikes me that when we talk about mental health in this sector, we use a kind of shorthand. We are trying to deliver services to people who are dealing with something that has happened in their home...
