Louise O'Reilly: The need has been recognised. As a result, the HSE, the clinicians, their representatives and all of the people in charge of recognising where there is a need have identified the need for 107 nurses to deal with what we all do not want, but which we now must accept as a fact - I would say because of Government policy but others would probably have other ideas - but it is what it is. Ms...

Louise O'Reilly: I presume the blockage, such as it is, relates to the Department of Health. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is there somewhere else from where the money should be coming?

Louise O'Reilly: Does Mr. McCallion have an idea of the breakdown?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Emergency Department Overcrowding: Discussion (25 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: I suspect there are many more outsourced staff than there are in-house staff, but I could be wrong. Mr. McCallion might provide the information to the committee.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Emergency Department Overcrowding: Discussion (25 Jan 2017)
Louise O'Reilly: Mr. McCallion states that there is a need for significant investment, but is there a plan? I appreciate I am being a little parochial but Mr. McCallion stated that the centre in Balbriggan would be developed around existing resources. Mr. McCallion knows already that the existing resources are not adequate to meet demand, so to say it is being developed around existing resources effectively...

Louise O'Reilly: I asked a question about advanced nurse practitioners, ANPs. I wish to be very clear because we are short of time and possibly patience at this stage, although not in my case. There are 78 advanced nurse practitioners, but there should be 150. This time next year, if we are all lucky enough to be back, how many more ANPs will there be, taking into account the fact that some of them must be...

Louise O'Reilly: On my question about the number this time next year, will we be lucky to have 78, that is, if some do not retire?
