I thank the Minister of State. First, I must highlight the fact of the funding she made available to AsIAm for the information line for parents. There is an access point there which must be complimented because as a parent, on hearing those words, you do not know where to go or where to turn and it is important that these supports were put in place. The Minister of State has highlighted the fact that support is colocated within the community. There is a model there and it works. We have met the officials as has the Minister of State. We need to put the funding in place to deliver it.
