Dr. Caitriona Henchion:

Completely. That is why it is so important to have somebody appointed who can mentor those junior staff in order that the next generation coming through will not face the same issues. That is what one wants to try and do to safeguard the service into the future.

On a question asked earlier, the HSE is continuously making efforts to expand the service. It is involved in conversations with those hospitals. As far as I am aware, the service started being provided in Sligo hospital recently. Previously, it was not available there. It is slow, but they are trying to engage. Somebody asked if there anything is being done. They are trying to engage in those areas.
