Mr. Hayes has suggested that additional staff will be employed in February or certainly over the coming months. This is vital for the CHO 1 area. How many people are we talking about? Funding is a big issue. This major issue has been debated at various meetings on numerous occasions. I am concerned about the amount of funding required to have successful mental health services in the CHO 1 area.
