I accept that they are recent. I saw a figure somewhere, maybe in correspondence, that it would take an additional 2 million hours, on top of the 18 million hours, to deal with all the applications for home care that the HSE has. I might have done the rough figures, on the basis of 18 million hours divided by the amount of people on the lists, working out what each person is getting on average, and, if there are 7,000 people on the list, I worked out that it would possibly mean an extra 2 million hours.
