There is clearly an issue in that CHO. The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, has been involved in that. Rather than saying something on the public record that might be unfair to some of the people involved, I might ask her to revert to the Deputy or meet with him to discuss the specific issues and, most importantly, the solutions in CHO 4. There is a long-standing issue there. The number of people waiting is completely unacceptable. The problem is not for a lack of allocated funding. A lot of funding and many posts have been allocated. There are many issues there, as the Deputy rightly said, and I know he is aware of some of the specifics. I might ask the Minister of State to revert specifically on that CHO.
