That is a reasonable request, to which I had intended to respond earlier. I believe that a small group of people should meet with the Department and the HSE in relation to the framing of the type of strategy that we need in relation to end-of-life issues because this is not only about hospice care.

We all know that from the hearings. It would be a very worthwhile exercise to sit down and decide not just why this or that was not recommended but on a framework for delivery. The Department and the HSE would be quite willing to engage in that process.
