I want to put a question to Ms Ní Sheaghdha. We are tight on time and I want to give her as much time as possible to respond. One of the issues that arises with staff I meet is the lack of safe staffing levels. We know we have a safe staffing framework and a skills mix framework. I have raised this issue with the Minister several times recently. He has told me that the money is there, and it is not an issue and is being implemented. Is it being implemented? Is the money there? Are there wards or healthcare facilities in the State without safe staffing levels today?
