In view of that financial allocation, are the relevant targets achievable and reasonable? Ms McGuinness referred to the response times suggested by HIQA as being unachievable in Ireland and listed the reasons for this. Are the financial model and the level of resources allocated sufficient? I accept that the HSE would like to obtain more money. However, we must deal with matters as they stand. In view of the fact that there have been major changes and a great deal of commentary regarding the performance of and structures relating to the national ambulance service, are the response times to which I refer achievable?
