I will go back to the subject of the regional hospital in Mullingar. The Minister mentioned the issue of the recruitment of the dietician. There were also issues some years ago with the paediatric diabetes service and recruitment there. However, I want to focus on the MRI machine. It opened in February 2024. It closed six months later. It was approved for 11.2 whole-time equivalents for staff. In November of last year it was available only for inpatients and it was due to be available for outpatients for quarter 1 of 2025. Are the staff in place?
