While I accept fully what the Minister of State said and I am pleased that arrangements are under way to recruit a replacement, the reply is not focused on my query in the context of child care inspections. He has referred to what the HSE is doing in the context of the overall complement of public health nurses. This matter is about child care and inspections of facilities. I hope in the light of the Minister of State's reply that the recruitment process will focus exclusively on child care inspections, not necessarily to add to the existing complement. I would be grateful if he at least conveyed the essence of what I am attempting to establish. I am grateful for his time and reply.
