Mr. Tony Canavan:

It is fair to say that the service will evolve and develop over time. That means it will take time, several years, for it to become fully established. This is the first step in a process that will also require additional inpatient beds to be developed on a regional basis, as well as rolling out those teams across all the regions in the country. At present, it is focused on two of the regions. There will be further beds in service planning processes for 2025 to try to support that. The recruitment process itself will take time. In my area, where we are progressing the recruitment on the basis of funding we received, we expect that most of those posts will be in place by the end of this year. One of the posts is a consultant post, which will take longer, but all of those will add to the overall service as they come on stream.
