We made the appeal for medical people to come home and get involved in the system. Many of them said they were not contacted. The system failed those people. They wished to get involved. You can only make those appeals so many times before they stop having an impact. It is a bit like clapping front-line workers. We said we would deliver childcare for them. That did not happen in most cases. We had people in here last week talking about the ambulance service and Dublin Fire Brigade. Some 120 Dublin Fire Brigade 120 have still not received the pandemic payment. Dr. Burke is talking about the importance of trust and relationships. If one seeks to underpin the strength of that trust and those relationships, it will be difficult to get people to do it again.
