I will tell Mr. Walsh what I am trying to get at. We have a postcode lottery for services. It is very unequal in some services between one part of the country and another. I had a look at the HSE website in advance of the witnesses coming here, and I looked at the populations of each of the CHO areas, which are vastly different. When I looked at the numbers, it was the 2011 census that was used. Does the HSE update that to the 2016 and 2022 censuses when making decisions? For example, there has not been an equal increase in population across the country. Services that were poor to begin with and were stretched are stretched even more if there is a bigger increase in population. Where does that play into?
