A doctor is assigned to each prison. Has there been engagement with all the doctors within the prison system to enable us to set up a clear programme of action? On the Cork issue, I suggest that it might be helpful for us, as members of the committee, to get information on why the programme has not been rolled out, even though it was planned. There is no point in announcing the roll-out of a programme if we are to find out six months later that it is not happening. The witnesses may not have the relevant information, but perhaps they can advise us on to whom we should write to get the information on why the programme is not in place.
