We have to ensure the posts that are being filled are funded by the taxpayer. I take great solace from the fact our waiting lists have fallen for the second year in a row. We are one of the few countries in Europe where that is happening. My constituency clinics are as full as the Deputy's with people wanting to get into our hospitals quicker, but surely Deputy Conway-Walsh can understand the point I am making. I am sure she does understand, given the knowledge and expertise in these matters she clearly has, that we can only allow a role to be filled if it is funded and the money is there to do it. Does the Deputy accept that premise?
