According to this, the output target in 2016 was 12,415. In fairness, I do not have the outturn but that is because it is not available yet. I will get the Deputy the outturn figure as soon as it is available. The target for this year, in terms of actual persons as opposed to percentages, is 14,365. Seventy-two per cent will be seen within 12 weeks or three months of being referred for an appointment.

On the important issue of the psychologist post, I will ask the HSE to update the Deputy directly on the position. For the breakdown of public versus private grades, and the same breakdown the Deputy is looking for across the other areas, I will update the Deputy directly through the HSE.
