It has not been published. As I am sure she is writing it, Dr. O'Reilly has seen it. Will it include specific timeframes and targets?

This and the other committee have discussed the national children's hospital. I have discussed it directly with Ms Hardiman. We all know that tri-location is best for children and mothers. When will a planning application be made for the location of the maternity hospital on the St. James's Hospital site? Ms Hardiman referred to it as the biggest capital investment; therefore, we need to get it right. Time and again we have been told that tri-location is the way to go.

My last question is for the south-south west hospital group. Mr. O'Callaghan managed to get through his presentation without mentioning the Herrity report. It is a very contentious issue, as I am sure he is aware. I know that my colleague, Deputy David Cullinane, has done extensive work on it. Some of the issues highlighted in the report relate to defining the catchment area for University Hospital Waterford. What does Mr. O'Callaghan regard as the catchment area for the hospital and also the group in the counties covered?
