Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The final piece of that query was on the transport issue. Again, I am not sure of the specifics but I am aware that in the north west and the south west my colleagues are very much engaged with rural bus and community bus system and at finding very different and creative ways to assist people, be it in coming for outpatient appointments or in the overall objective of supporting people to continue to live at home and in their own communities, which is what we would all desire. I am not aware of any specific criticism of the HSE around engagement on the transport issue. I take the bona fides of the Senator's comment.
