The need has been recognised. As a result, the HSE, the clinicians, their representatives and all of the people in charge of recognising where there is a need have identified the need for 107 nurses to deal with what we all do not want, but which we now must accept as a fact - I would say because of Government policy but others would probably have other ideas - but it is what it is. Ms Fitzgerald is saying that the resources for these 107 nurses have not been provided.
