Before this meetings is finished, can somebody come back with the total number of people on all health waiting lists? In my view, it is approximately 1.2 million but it could be more. It is a huge figure and surely the interim head of the HSE and senior officials here should know what the total figure is. We should not have to put in parliamentary questions in all of these areas to try to piece it together, when we are asking what the total figure is and we cannot get it. Does anybody in the room know what the total figure is?
