Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for this great testimony.
I'll continue with you, Ms. Wallace. We were talking about mental health just a little while ago. In previous testimony in this meeting and in prior meetings, we heard about the bureaucracy being a barrier to care, especially on the preventative side, in terms of bureaucratic red tape and issues with communication and reimbursement, etc. I know that you talked about it earlier on in your testimony and in questioning, but maybe you could expand on that in terms of the mental health side of it.
Are you noticing, or have you experienced, mental health situations where, especially on the preventative side, extreme delays in getting access to treatment then led to an even worse case, where individuals, perhaps for a whole variety of reasons, were being taken to a hospital emergency room—or worse?
