I thank the witnesses. This is all fresh in our minds because we had the neurological session last week, so I will not go back into that. Deputy Gino Kenny was asking about the winter plan being shelved. Now it is an all-round, three-year plan. Are there any plans to do that in other areas or sectors? I am thinking of the likes of section 39 agencies. Those are a subset or an outside group but are under the HSE grouping. Those groups are struggling with the one-year model. I was in Limerick last week with a women's refuge, which gets its funding from the HSE and other services but really struggles with the one-year element because it just cannot retain staff.
