I thank the delegation who have shown commitment to cross-Border co-operation. While one can get caught up in issues concerning quality, quantity and so on, the wide range of people who are present in today's delegation is a sign to members that the Department is committed to the process. A range of issues exist, such as the provision of paediatric cardiology in Belfast and Dublin, and loads more questions remain. However, it is good to have a point of contact, even today. Can the joint committee liaise with Ms Nic Aongusa if issues arise? Is it okay for the joint committee to use her as a point of contact in respect of health issues?
