I want to make one point before handing over to Ms Laverne McGuinness who will take the questions posed by Deputy Ó Caoláin on staffing. While it will not make a huge difference to our overall ranking, it is extremely important to patients and to parents who have had a stillbirth or lost a baby that it is recorded. It diminishes hugely their trust in the whole system and our statistics if their baby has not been properly recorded. While it will not make a huge difference in terms of statistics, it makes an enormous difference at the human level for parents.
