That is exactly right. We do need a process. What I can tell the Deputy is that the HSE is engaged on an ongoing basis at a comprehensive level with the various cohorts. There are mechanisms in the HSE and there is a lot of engagement across the service. What we are speaking about now is something on top of this to look at addressing the very serious burden and very serious exhaustion that so many of our staff are carrying. The Deputy is right that we need to address it as a specific piece of work.
