I am conscious that our guests have been here for a while so I will try to be brief. I am not brilliant at being brief but I will try. The point was made by Dr. Green that the staff do a fine job and they absolutely do. There is no question or doubt about that at all. The problem is there are not enough of them for everybody who needs to see them. The issue is not with the quality of the work carried by the staff but rather that nobody can get in to get that high-quality work.

We spoke a little at the outset about consultation. This concerns a change in the model of care for children's oral health. Will the witnesses talk me through what input Tusla would have had? Was it part of the consultation, given that much of the focus is on children's oral health?
