I want to get in a data question, which is one I very often ask the HSE, the Garda or any forum to do with justice. Do the two organisations feel they have access to data about what is really happening?

Is anyone collecting data from our guests' organisations about what is happening? Who is collecting the data and how complex are those data? It is important in health-led approaches that we have good, disaggregated data and I do not necessarily see that happening in many of these programmes. Are our guests’ organisations collecting data, and if so, does someone collect them from them? Where are we with the data issues?
