Mr. David Keating:

On the point on HIQA, the Mental Health Commission and so on requiring additional resources, I would be more familiar with HIQA than the State Claims Agency or the Mental Health Commission. As Dr. Holohan said, we are travelling in a certain direction with HIQA in that it is going to be moving towards licensing. It is taking on other roles in respect of undertaking a national patient experience survey. It is the competent authority for ionising radiation. This year an additional 47 posts have been sanctioned, or will be sanctioned by the end of the year. There has been an increase of approximately €3.4 million over the 2018 budget. We are currently considering what the 2019 budget might be.
