That is the point. I do not mean to interrupt because I know Ms McArdle is trying to answer but we have a €54 million underspend in one section of the Sláintecare programme. There is not much point in having the money if we cannot spend it. The Department of Health is sanctioning that money into the HSE. We are 20 physiotherapists and 17 speech and language therapists short. That is at the current rate, leaving aside the 6,350 children who have still to be assessed. It seems we are near disaster here. The CDNT is not yet up and running and is already at crisis point.
