I welcome our guests and thank them for their excellent presentations.

I concur with Senator John Crown on the dermatology service in the south east. Coming from south Tipperary, I am very aware of the inadequate service in the south east, particularly south Tipperary, which has always been less than adequately served by way of an outreach service from what is now Waterford University Hospital. Does Dr. Ormond have any comment to make on developments in the last while in the south east in dermatology services?

Have there been consultations with our guests in the context of the new Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland guidelines? Is there a need for the joint committee to consult and make recommendations to the authority in this area?
