The question I am asking is why is it so long. Take social welfare, for example. In 2022, it issued 302,000 PPS numbers to people from 202 different countries but we cannot do this in health. We have our medical cards computerised and all of that done but we have not computerised our medical records or patient records so that you we not have this crazy waste of time that is going on at the moment.
