I accept that. Ms Connolly spoke about a lack of transparency about the data underpinning the pay and numbers strategy and the other healthcare trade unions have made a similar point. She made another important point, which should be noted, that HSE HR was directed to essentially switch off the vacancies on the SAP payroll system. If vacant posts are switched off and gone, is the consequence that the HSE can say it does not have the data or it is not there? From Fórsa's perspective, why did the HSE switch off the vacant posts on its SAP system? What was the intention behind that?
