I am sure other colleagues will come back on this but I want to move to another issue, namely, the issue in Cork University Hospital and oncology. We saw reports last week that 13 consultants have resigned or retired from CUH in the past three years, ten of whom were delivering cancer services. There is a huge concern in the region, given the fact the hospital is a national cancer centre, that we do not have enough consultants to treat the number of patients awaiting treatment. What progress, if any, are we making on filling those posts?
