Okay. That is a fair answer. I would like to now turn to the Department. The HSE very clearly said just now that it is prioritising settings for 24-hour mental health placements that are directly in contrast to our national policies and what we know is best practice for patient care. At what point does the Department step in here when it is very obvious the HSE is not doing its job in this regard?
