I reiterate that recruitment is taking place, as I alluded to in my speech. This involves one consultant endocrinologist, one social worker, one speech and language therapist, two senior psychologists, one clinical nurse specialist and one grade five. Some of them will be whole-time equivalents and some will be part time. That should help the waiting lists but I will certainly pass on the Senator's concerns to both the Department and the HSE. I will also pass on to the Minister the Senator's request that he meet TENI at the first opportunity.
