I welcome the witnesses and thank Mr. O’Flynn for his presentation. They have done huge work, to a large extent successfully. The proposal for an elective modular hospital in Cork city provides a key for the future.

Although the reconfiguration is for services in Cork and Kerry it seems to be more Cork and city-based. What has the effect of this reconfiguration been on the Kerry services, particularly those at Kerry General Hospital? What effect, if any, will the addition of half of the old south east region to the South-South West hospital group, including Waterford University Hospital and South Tipperary General Hospital, have on the future services in Waterford and Clonmel?
