Mr. Jim Breslin:
We have done better in quarter one in many of the performance areas, including for those waiting in emergency departments, than we did in the previous year. There is significant improvement on many performance areas. In respect of the overall operational situation, last year's shortfall was €114 million and that figure is €45 million this year. There is more to do and Mr. Reid has outlined that there is work under way in the HSE to do it.
