I asked a question that was not answered. It is the most obvious one from my point of view. A decision was made not to remove emergency percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI, from University Hospital Waterford from Monday to Friday, which I welcome. If that is the policy, and that is not what Dr. Herity proposed, is it viable in the clinicians' view for one laboratory to service the population it currently serves and to provide both planned and emergency work into the future? Is it a safe service and is it a viable service?
