That is laudable, but it will not free up this matter. It is not enough. Is the witness in a position to give the committee his sense of how this can be addressed? It appears to be simple. Has the witness taken steps within the HSE to address the local freeze, for want of a better word? The committee must complement whatever efforts Dr. Doherty has employed or will now employ to get to a better position on this. I believe we are on the same page. Despite the fact that Dr. Doherty has taken responsibility, that is not really the case. He has overseen all the respective and required steps for that recruitment, but we must see those people in place and their professional skills put to the use and purpose for which they were designed. How can we get to that place together?
