At all. They are saying that it might be the end of the first quarter. I hope it is. I accept what the Minister of State is saying. Data is essential. You cannot measure anyone's performance unless there is clear data. I would also ask the Minister of State to confirm she is supportive of what is contained in Sláintecare on the allocation of resources to the various areas, whatever boundaries we are using, and it is to be hoped we will be using the new regional health area, RHA, boundaries soon, that the allocation of resources would be done on an objective basis - looking at the population in each area, the socioeconomic profile, the number of children, the number of older people and all that kind of thing - and that it would be transparent.
