These questions may already have been asked, but to go back over what Deputy McLellan raised, we heard quite clearly from HIQA and from the HSE's own members that they themselves felt they did not have the requisite skills. That is what they told the inspectors. There is obviously a variance between what HIQA is telling us and what Ms McGuinness has told us today. She said they all have job descriptions and went through an interview process. This is the complete opposite of what we heard from HIQA. I would like to know how we have come to that.

The HIQA report also discussed how the national ambulance service was in breach of its own policy regarding replacement of vehicles in some instances. Was the issue years versus miles?
