That does not fill me with confidence. Has the HSE identified how many people it needs to hire or what kind of skill sets will be required? If we pass this into law, the HSE will be obliged to do it. It is not a simple desktop exercise. It is very complex for any healthcare system to begin doing this and to do it right. Have any staff been hired thus far? What total complement will be required? Is a new team being set up? What resources will it have? Has it been budgeted for? Is it in the healthcare budget for this year?
