Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

The Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, is very aware of this issue. We are all concerned about the figures cited by the Deputy. There has been a reduction in waiting lists as a result of some of the measures introduced by the Minister of State. I understand that one of the real constraints relates to getting the staff. One third of the posts that have been advertised to try to get new services in are still vacant due to a lack of people applying. I acknowledge that is not a sufficient answer. I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte to reply directly to the Deputy.
