Hopefully, the roll-out of the RHA programme will improve the services.

Mr. Walsh's opening statement referred to the 3,891 children waiting to be seen and the 10% increase in appointments offered. The latter is positive but I am thinking of the people listening at home with a child affected. Deputy Lahart referred to CHO 7 and the 364 children affected there. Can any positive news be given to their families on the time it will take to go through the list?

We have heard there is a postcode lottery regarding how the services are being rolled out, but will roll-out take even longer where there are key personnel missing? Will it take years to deal with the 3,800 children?
