I would like to express my disappointment that representatives of St. Vincent's hospital did not attend this meeting. I am very concerned about the questions that Senator Crown raised. The public and members would like to see the answers. I am sure the Chairman will be writing a letter to St Vincent's hospital expressing our disappointment at its non-attendance and raising the questions that members wish answered.

I thank the representatives from the Beacon Hospital for coming to today's meeting, and I also thank the representatives of the HSE. It is very important that many questions are answered. I know that the public, like me, would like to know the answers. I hope that after this afternoon's meeting, the committee will write a letter to St. Vincent's hospital expressing our disappointment.
