I know every single one of them. Some of them have been going on so long that I have been involved in them myself and I have been supporting them, advocating for them and getting resources for them for a considerable amount of time. However, let us just reflect on what Mr. Reid and the Minister have said. I accept some of the new positive changes. I put them forward in proposals myself. That is not the issue. The issue is whether these actions will deal with the accident and emergency beds crisis and the resource staff crisis we face in the mid-west over the coming months. I need to know whether these actions will work. The answer to the question given by the Minister and Mr. Reid was to list of all of the actions, some of them dating back years. If this is the best they can put forward, we will know in the coming weeks and months whether they will work.
