Thank you, Deputy. Deputy Neville was looking for an organisational structure chart, and I added that it should include numbers in each section. We will send the witnesses an official request for this. Could they also add the figures for clinical and non-clinical staff out of the whole of the mental health services, sub-divided into the numbers working in HR, finance and some of the other divisions?

The next thing was how appointments were made in the new structure, excluding you, Mr. O'Sullivan, how Ms O'Connor and Mr. Ryan were appointed - the witnesses have said they will provide us with the information on how the appointments were made, how they were advertised, whether there were salary increases, etc.

The next request was for a table showing how mental health funding as a percentage of total health funding has changed in recent years. A note on the clinical care pathway for young people was requested as was a comprehensive report or note on the IT project on budgeting. I think that is it.
