On that I will give Mr. Gloster the benefit of the doubt. He has a lot to get through, but he will be here next year. There is no dentist in County Wexford taking part in the DTSS. There was an 80-year-old man this time last year who pulled four of his own teeth because we do not have an adult emergency service in County Wexford. Ms Queally might also consider that when she is discussing the DTSS. It has been raised in the Dáil a number of times. There are umpteen promises. We are told there has been €20 million in extra funding, which brings the funding to €60 million. That leaves a deficit of €20 million compared to what they were getting ten years ago. It is not rocket science. I tell the witnesses not to come back next year and make the same statement, please.

I have a question for Mr. Mulvany on the subject of reporting. If we are going to make progress the committee needs to understand, from the perspective of the public purse, how a report was generated which left out so much financial information that it misled the Department. How do we have an IT system in the HSE? That is a straightforward question. I do not want dates or waffle. I want an answer, because I have five minutes.
