Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

There is a lot in that. I acknowledge and agree with the Deputy's thanks to all the front-line staff who are doing great work. I would include in that, as I hope other colleagues would, all of the staff, including the managers out there because we also have managers who are working without breaks or holidays, etc. It takes a whole system and that involves all of the staff.

If the Deputy’s point is that hope is not a plan then we totally agree with him. Simply having a plan does not mean you will change some of the fundamental issues but the Deputy is not saying that nothing has been done.
