If I understand what has been said correctly as a layman, is it appropriate that severe cases are referred to the centre of excellence in Temple Street Children's University Hospital? Yes.
As a former Minister of State who had responsibility for research, I note the team has clinical leads and I seek to understand both the resourcing and the research element in this regard. The W82GO! multidisciplinary team receives funding from the Temple Street Foundation and the HSE. Have peer-reviewed research papers and outputs been produced? Obviously the research is peer reviewed as Ms Sheridan has nodded her head. I seek an insight into what is happening on the research side.
