Bear with me for a moment. I am not mixed up at all; I am quite clear on this. We have had representatives of the HSE here, asked the questions and got the answers. We keep asking the same questions and getting the same answers. How can we arrive at a situation whereby, by one means or another, be it recruitment at home or recruitment overseas, we can have an adequate level of staff, including nurses, medical staff and consultants, in our hospitals? I appreciate that Ms Ní Sheaghdha has no function regarding medical and consultant staff.
