Mr. John Farrelly:

We have facilities around the country and we are developing primary care facilities. When considering the future, there is no reason that those facilities could not be open 24 hours a day. People are coming back to the same point, which is what parents, children and people are looking for. In fact, when we did our road shows in Galway a group of service users told us about setting up a cafe. They are looking for a safe place and the GP is looking for a safe place. We are so caught in the shadows of institutions that we do not seem to have the creativity or the policy oversight to say we are going in a particular direction.
