Through the Chair, I ask that if the unions are telling us they have sought data and they have not got it, maybe we can use our own offices here to request that information from the HSE regarding suppressed posts, unfilled posts and all of the information that the unions have not got. There has not been any engagement. What the witnesses are telling us is that unilateral decisions were made with regard to the embargo but, worse than that, the pay and numbers strategy, which is just based on finance as opposed to health need. I will leave it at that.
