Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his detailed answer. If we could get the precise figures, that would be wonderful. I understand that, as you have mentioned here in the chamber, there are a number of people who have been on Christmas Island for several months. Nine months is the average time for the cohort that I believe you are referring to, which leads to the question of the state of their mental health. Has there been an increase in the number of mental health specialists on the island? (Time expired)
