Well, we have, of course, in place a recruitment campaign, which has proven very successful. We put extra resources into CAMHS when that was needed, when demand did become very high and that demand needed to be satisfied. I can say that more than 154,000 people have been seen by local primary mental health support services since their introduction, as part of the implementation of the Measure in 2012, and over 82,000 people have received therapeutic interventions by their LPMHSS. So, we know that many people have benefited from that Measure, and we can see, of course, that the budget is ring-fenced for mental health, to ensure that sufficient resource is available.
