The Minister has appeared before us and we have heard many reports from the HSE. I am being told in one ear that funding is not an issue, yet, in the other, I am being told that mental health services are in crisis. I am trying to match the two in order to determine what could be done to address the crisis. Obviously, we are not recruiting and training enough people annually. That will be the downfall. Does Mr. Hughes agree that we need to increase recruitment numbers via the CAO and so on?
