I note at this point that even though the director general is no longer here, the next person in charge should be here. It is unacceptable that questions may be put which will not be answered because people still here are not in senior positions or are not responsible. The HSE is responsible for that, that is, in not ensuring that people who can answer questions are here. While the director general has left, there are people apart from him who can answer questions but who are not here. That should be noted.
