Mr. Dean Sullivan:

I agree with the Minister's point. Notwithstanding the fact that we do not see it, we need to be aware of the risk that it is there and seek positive assurance that it is not happening. In the development of the service plan for 2019, inequalities and the potential for those in respect of access to services or outcomes from services will be key things for us to look at. Endometriosis is a key thing affecting far more women than is generally understood. One of the difficulties is that it is not generally understood, including in GP-land. Sometimes, people are slow to pick up on it and refer the lady in question for more specialist care within gynaecology. Certainly, that is an area on which we need to work.

On scoliosis, I note that Ms Angela Fitzgerald and Ms Anne O'Connor have not had much opportunity to speak yet. Angela may wish to say anything to supplement this. My briefing is that we are on track to achieve for 2018 the four-month target, albeit it involves, as the Minister alluded to, services outside the South for this year. We are seeking to put in place an arrangement which will sustainably deliver services for children within the island in due course. Does Angela wish to add anything?
