The Minister could just inform the officials in his Department because I could paper the walls of this room with the responses I have received and they all say the same thing. There may be new staff moving in from other areas, say in Balbriggan, where they closed the health centre and moved them into the new health centre, but that does not represent additional staff for a town with the fastest growing population in the State. That is only shifting staff around. No new services can be developed just because someone is taken out of a building that is derelict and put them into one that is shiny.
