In that case, I will ask a different question. Let us assume it will not happen properly this year. I acknowledge the Minister of State is reading out the answers with which she is provided, but her answer would not fill anyone with confidence that the process will be in place this year. If the HSE is not sufficiently resourced to do it this year - and it does not seem that it will be - and we pass the Bill into law, thus requiring the HSE to do something for which it is not equipped, what will happen if it does not complete it properly? What penalties would the HSE face for not being legally compliant once the Bill is passed into law?
