I thank the witnesses for coming before us. I am in CHO 5 and would also like information because I find it hard to get information from the organisation. I know how hard it works but it is an ongoing process so I would ask for figures relating to staffing. What staffing is there? The witnesses say they are getting another 100 from the previous 100, which I welcome. I also welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, because I know how hard she is working on disability issues and I acknowledge her dedication to them and all the different services. Could the witnesses comment on the workforce plan and policies? Regarding the reports on each area, I would be very interested to know the situation in CHO 5 so that I know what is happening.
