Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Centre for Mental Health and Mental Health Foundation
Sorry, I can see you were startled. It was my fault; I should have come to Joyce first. I do apologise, Jack, I put you on the spot there. You should have said to me, 'Isn't Joyce next?' Joyce Watson. My apologies, Jack.
