Joan Freeman: I will briefly outline the process. Several members will have seven minutes to ask questions and receive the answers, if that is possible.

Joan Freeman: We are not directing this at Ms Mannion. One of the other blockages, especially in respect of Wexford and Waterford, is that the working conditions in the building in which the team in Wexford have to work are appalling. They cannot take medical measurements or carry out risk assessments because of the building. The condition of the building is the biggest block. I call Deputy Rabbitte.

Joan Freeman: Before I call Deputy Buckley I have two brief questions for Dr. Moore. I know he is a child psychiatrist. Has he ever been consulted in the recruitment process by HR? Has he been asked for his advice as a child psychiatrist? Second, what blockages does he see in recruiting consultants?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services Staff: Discussion (13 Jun 2018)
Joan Freeman: I have a question on two things Dr. Moore said. First, he used the word "contempt". Why is that and where is it? Second, he referred to five managers. What are they managing?

Joan Freeman: I ask the Deputy to make the request in order that Ms Mannion can follow up on it in her report. I hope Mr. Hughes does not mind, but I also want to ask him a question. We looked at the 25 steps and usually steps are progressive to attain a good level. They do not seem to be 25 progressive steps. From his own experience, why does he think there are those blocks?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care: Mental Health Services Staff: Discussion (13 Jun 2018)
Joan Freeman: Will Mr. Hughes give me an example of what he means by that?
