That is not my point. I am referring to business functions and interactivity, not user ability. We are asking for figures on CAMHS and other things, but we cannot get them because the systems cannot produce them. Their functionality is not conducive to giving us reports. If we are investing in IT systems, we need to ask what the communications process is between the functional users and those who put the systems together. The HSE has hiring numbers for CAMHS, but if it can hire and knows how many positions it needs, can it not produce a report on how much that would cost?
