My final question is about the initiatives that have been put in place. The HSE’s performance management improvement unit has been directed to lead the process in partnership with the UHL team members supporting the hospital and community services in driving a programme to work to respond more effectively to the current pressures. It does not say exactly when that began, but I understand from the briefing note that it is relatively new. Again, there has been no direct engagement with the campaign group. Are the witnesses seeing evidence of any improvements in terms of staffing, staffing levels, bed capacity or any other initiatives that are being run in the hospitals?
