It is good to hear that they are on the ball. The last thing one wants to hear about is wasteful expenditure.

I wish to address a question to Dr. Matvienko-Sikar regarding to the crossover on the provision of HSE services to aid interventions for young children, in particular those who might be obese, and the solutions. Home management advisers was mentioned by Dr. Mooney, a service that I did not know existed. I thought public health nurses did this but the HSE has a team. Has Dr. Matvienko-Sikar covered that in her research on CHErIsH, and has it informed her views on the services being provided?
