I thank Mr. Gloster and Mr. Watt for their contributions. I also thank everyone attending before the committee today. My questions relate to efficiencies and greater use of resources. I am based in Limerick and therefore most of my questions relate to UHL. There was a report published recently on the recruitment freeze. It stated that, because of that backlog, there would not be sufficient staff in place for the new 96-bed unit that is being built in the first quarter of 2025. That is the first thing I would like a comment on.
