Mr. Bernard Gloster:

-----what my colleague has told the Senator about there being no consultant available in the area and others not moving. I just do not have the detail to be able to assist the Senator further with the matter. However, I will certainly take it back up with both my colleague, Ger Reaney, and the national mental health office in the HSE. I know from my own area in the mid-west that when there is a vacancy for or a gap in a position, while it obviously causes significant delays because people cannot cross over for the sheer volume of work they are doing in their own areas, I would not say that would apply where an acute emergency would arise. However, I will elaborate on that further for the Senator.
