I am not disputing that. I am flagging up where the system has failed drastically to provide the service the HSE is tasked to provide to people desperate for help who are turned away and, within a couple of days, take their own lives because the system has failed them miserably. When the HSE hears of cases like this, what changes? I can see that nothing changes. Four posts are still vacant. Where is the urgency?
