I have two quick questions. Concern was expressed recently that the State has failed to provide a perinatal, clinical, genetics, genomic service. As Dr. Conlon said, the service requires expert guidance to multidisciplinary teams regarding appropriate testing, interpretation of test results and so on. Again, it was mentioned that there is only one consultant in clinical and biochemical genetics with a special interest in perinatal genomics based in the National Maternity Hospital. This was one of the services for which it was expected that funding would be set aside in the budget. This is an area that will possibly fall again. Are there any developments in that area?
