That is the bonus for the day. I want discuss primary care. The Sláintecare report is a ten-year programme that has been rolled out. We all hear about primary care. We, as politicians and Ministers, refer to primary care and the Departments keep promoting primary care as the way forward and as a means to keep people out of hospitals and accident and emergency units. How far has the Sláintecare report on primary care advanced? How much will it advance over the next couple of years? We all want primary care. We all want to provide assistance that keeps people in their homes and out of hospital. Will the HSE comment on the matter and on the Sláintecare report in general?
