I wish to ask Dr. O'Brien about the issue of HSE recruitment, which arose when I spoke to the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, last week. In terms of resources to support, in this instance, the 19 residents in the Owenacurra centre, how is the recruitment process of psychiatrist or assistant psychiatrist positions in Dr. O'Brien's community healthcare organisation area going? Of the increased positions of more than 150 to be filled, only 40 people have currently been recruited. That has an impact. What is the position in Dr. O'Brien's region?
