Yes. It was part of the role of Ms Mannion's predecessor to be aware of the matter too. From the perspectives of Ms Mannion and ourselves, it is great that she came in and found this issue. From the public's perspective, it should not matter who is in the role within the HSE. My next question is not specifically directed at Ms Mannion. When did the HSE become aware that we had non-specialist doctors acting in specialist roles? We have evidence from the professional bodies that such a situation comes with serious patient concerns and safety concerns. How long has the HSE known about this matter?
