I heard the Minister's responses to Deputies Troy, McLellan and Boyd Barrett. He said there has been a downward trend in the number of high priority cases awaiting a social worker. If that is true, it is certainly to be welcomed. I wish to ask the Minister about medium and low-priority cases. According to the recent HIQA report there were more than 760 non-priority cases in Cork alone. One would almost be afraid to ask about the national figure. What measures are being taken to deal with what are viewed as non-priority cases?
