I presume it is not just whatever Galway costs multiplied by three, because there will be some duplication in terms of referral processes and the Garda and so on. However, in terms of therapists, consultants, support staff, nurses and so on, what does it cost for this vision to be delivered? What does it cost for three centres, south, east and west, in terms of staffing complement and so on? I presume that clarity will be in the Government memo but it would be good for the committee to know that in order that we can push a Minister when he or she comes in before us in terms of trying to prioritise this. As there is a lot of consensus around this being the right model, we would like to see it happen.
