I thank the Chairman for his indulgence. Let us say the witnesses were given a magic wand tomorrow that granted them all of the resources they needed. What would the development of an implementation plan and evaluation framework for the provision of services to children and adolescents with clinical obesity throughout Ireland look like in real terms?

Would it be a case of staging what Dr. O'Malley is doing and scaling it out to the regions or would it be a question of adding more layers of resources to what she is doing with her team?
