A couple of hundred. I struggle with Mr. O’Regan not having an answer. How is the HSE supposed to plan for the allocation of that staff around the different areas in 2023 and 2024? He talked to the committee about reducing the waiting times for assessments. However, I do not know how many staff will be there next year. Is a couple of hundred 100, 300 or 600? Where will the HSE put them? It just does not sound like there is a plan.
