Today is also World Mental Health Day. Again, I address my comment to Fine Gael. There are 678,438 people on some form of a hospital waiting list. Again, this matter needs to be addressed. We need to make sure that these people, like previous speakers have said, are not waiting for operations or waiting for surgery. That is uncalled for. I ask that we make sure that the money that is in the budget is delivered to the services that need them and I will give an example.
