I am not familiar with the detail of this issue in respect of radiation therapists but I will raise it with the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, who will get an answer from the HSE and revert to Deputy Harkin. I will make the point that we have increased overall staffing numbers in healthcare by 15,000 over the last two years. This is biggest increase in staff since the HSE was established and includes 4,500 nurses and midwives, 2,300 health and social care professionals and 1,400 doctors and dentists. The Deputy has highlighted a particular issue. We will follow up on it and revert to her.
