I raise the issue of the helpline for the CervicalCheck crisis. As the Taoiseach said earlier, 7,678 women are still waiting to be contacted. Can the Minister for Health advise the House if more staff will be put in place? There is anxiety and uncertainty among those waiting for a return call. I understand the staff there are extremely busy and this is causing huge distress. Can the Minister tell the House also whether the calls are being returned in order of priority or are they being returned by reference to when a call was initially logged?
