I thank the delegates for their presentation. I apologise for not being here for it but I was in the Dáil dealing with a nursing home issue with the Minister. I thank the delegates for the work they are doing in this area. They referred to the appointment of a large number of specialist nurses over the coming years. I am wondering whether they are happy that we have training programmes in place to deal with this. Many changes are occurring in the health service, as they know, so I am wondering whether we have a programme for training a sufficient number of nurses in this area.
