Despite the lengthy reply, I did not get a proper answer on the basic national access policy. How is primary care engaging with it? How is it being tracked and monitored? It would be helpful to get an answer to that. How many of the CDNTs are fully staffed now? We know that three and a half months ago none of them were fully staffed, not mention the question of retention of student therapists. My final question is for the Minister of State. The focus should be on that. We have spoken more about solutions than the HSE has. I want an elaboration of what should and could be done. We need a commitment from the HSE that it will be done.
