The people I spoke to last week told me that those priority lists are shorter than four weeks in the UK as well. We do have to open our minds and be open to the experiences of other countries in this regard. There is no perfect model, as they would acknowledge themselves, but I think it is a much better model than what we have here in Ireland. It is something we can learn from. There is no doubt it takes investment, but the early investment would produce huge savings later.
