-----but, suspiciously, it has been out three times. It has produced two reports and I am waiting on a third. The earlier report, which was published the year before last, included mention of a day centre. The next report did not mention a day centre. It seems to me that the HSE is utterly failing in its duty. There was a lot more honesty in the past. Let me refer to the words of an official, who I will not name, in 2018. In reply to an email, he stated the HSE cannot get agency nurses. This was in July 2018. The part for which I am praising the man was where he mentioned it was most regrettable that the most vulnerable in the area were the ones most affected.
