Is there a timeframe for the breakdown the witnesses are going to provide to us? Will we have it for next week? Will it include mental health and intellectual disability dual diagnosis, homeless and minority groups? The witness has said that information is not readily available today, which beggars belief. With respect, when they were coming in to this committee dealing with funding, did the witnesses not foresee that we might want that information? Surely this is not the first time this information has been sought. I would say practically every member here has submitted parliamentary questions and written to the HSE. I really am struggling with how the witnesses were not ready for that today. Even in this Dáil, have the two Ministers of State who have held responsibility for mental health sought that breakdown from the HSE at any stage? Have they asked where that money is being spent and how?
