Mr. Liam Woods:

On the paediatric emergency departments, typically they perform well. As I mentioned earlier, there were problems in the past couple of weeks related to community-based infection. I was not hoping for snow, just cold weather. The Deputy's mother went a step further than me on that.

Regarding the reference to the INMO, Drogheda and the Deputy's question about a side bar deal, I am not aware of that. What we were seeking to do with the 301 beds was identify anywhere we could reasonably and quickly open capacity. That was our driver.

The point about advertising was well made. We have a draft campaign to go locally for that purpose across 12 units throughout the country. That point was one of the findings of the emergency department task force, so we must act on that. We have done some work on it already. It is correct that people living proximate to these facilities do not fully understand the services they provide. It is something we could push a little more.

Those were the questions that were relevant to me.
