I suggest more of that needs to be done. It is important for us.

I have another quick question. The witnesses in with us previously also spoke about staffing deficits in some of the clinics. They talked about one clinic where there was no psychologist, as well as about occupational therapists who had left posts and so on. Will Dr. Ní Bhriain give us information, not here but in a follow-up note, on the staffing in all these clinics and inform us if there are staff deficits and positions that are unfilled? I ask this because it is important we ensure those posts are filled.

My last point is important one. People's first gateway into the health service are GPs. Concerns were raised about the level of training given to GPs. What work has the HSE done, and what more work will it do, to ensure GPs get the highest level of training in relation to understanding symptoms, prognosis and all of this? If this query could be answered, I will leave my questioning at that.
