Surely the HSA has a plan. Dr. McGuinness is saying that she is confident the HSA will get additional resources. Does she, as the CEO, know what additional resources will come and in what number? As I said earlier, plans need to be in place and resourced. We saw what happened in meat factories and nursing homes where plans were not in place. Rather than saying that the HSA will, or may, get additional resources, surely Dr. McGuinness has an idea as to how many additional inspectors she will have at her disposal when those additional resources arrive. She must have a number in mind.
