Dr. Cathal Morgan:

The Deputy also referred to resourcing. Briefly, we received funding for an additional 100 posts, which were fully implemented. Another increase of 100 therapy posts will be implemented this year. We are clear in saying that these 91 networks will need year-on-year investment. We are conscious of the fact that the Government is committed to what is called the capacity review report. In that report it is clear to us that there is a need for dedicated funding streams to build the capacity of those networks. We are not shy in saying that. We are happy that we got an additional €100 million from the Vote for this year and also with the 100 posts we are getting this year. We must build on that, so I am not shying away from the fact that those networks need additional posts, and to be upfront and honest about that.
