Has better delivery with the existing resources been examined, as well as blips in the system? Overall, the HSE has taken on an additional 12,000 people in three years, a significant number of people. However, we are still finding waiting lists like this. In my dealings with the HSE, I have found there is meeting after meeting but, 18 months later, there is no real progress. Why does that happen? Is it the case of meeting for the sake of it or meeting with a genuine commitment to improve the service?
