I will give an example. One of the first pilots started in Waterford in 2017. We call it Waterford integrated care for older people, WICOP, and we are very proud of the programme. It has a huge interaction with the community nursing unit in Waterford. A multidisciplinary team is put in place and sometimes there are vacancies on that team. While we have 60% of people in place, some teams can be more adequately filled than others.
