I thank Mr. Reid. I want to focus specifically on the progressing disability services for children and young people, or PDS, programme. Last year, the committee heard met with witnesses from the Psychological Society of Ireland, the Association of Occupational Therapists of Ireland and the Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists. They indicated that the current recruitment scheme is inadequate and they had significant concerns about the hiring of health and social care professionals through the HSE panel system. Has the HSE identified weaknesses in that system?
