At this point the HSE cannot actually say how many children have received the supports they need. Theoretically, the HSE could have moved 3,500 children from one waiting list onto another waiting list. Is that correct? What I am hearing from clinicians is that 99% of the children they are seeing are not being given any final diagnosis. They cannot give such a diagnosis at this point using the new system. That is one concern. I understand that the HSE will carry out a review of the new system in quarter 1. What metrics will the HSE be basing that review on if the officials do not have the data available easily?
