There is a situation at the moment and I just want to ask a question about whether it will it be addressed in the course of what we are doing. There is no maternity leave cover for speech and language therapists at present. Who decides whether that will be funded or not? Will it be funded under the model of Sláintecare or will it be funded under a multiplicity of models? In other words, will it be resolved?
