Like others, I compliment our witnesses on being here today, the replies they have given, and the tremendous work they have done throughout the Covid crisis. With regard to staffing levels, which has always been a sensitive issue, will Ms Ní Sheaghdha comment as to whether she is satisfied that nursing staff levels were increased proportionately when staffing levels throughout the HSE were increased? Did she feel that fewer nurses than other staff were appointed? Perhaps I can get an answer to that question first.
