Mr. Dean Sullivan:

I will get to it. I just need to provide context. I will come to it. The budget for health and social care is light at a macro level in Ireland anyway, so in a context in which there are insufficient resources to do all the things we would wish to do, our challenge is to decide how to prioritise the scarce existing resources, and the even scarcer new resources we can secure, towards the areas of greatest need. The top of the shop in that will be cases of material, live risks to the quality of patient safety. These are areas in which there is a need to bolster staff. Not far behind that would be areas in which there is a material capacity gap within a particular service.
