Mr. Barry O'Brien:

What we are committed to is delivering a quality health service. We have a group in place which has issued clear instructions and directions to each location to meet maximum working times on a weekly and daily basis. That is now being implemented.

We have further committed through Government to the European Commission that we will have EWTD compliance by the end of 2014 and we have set out a proposal in a set of plans of how we will achieve that.
