In terms of the roles of Connolly Hospital and Tallaght Hospital, I was struck when I was picking up the leaflet when I was trying to get out of Crumlin that the unit in Connolly Hospital closes at the weekends so there was no alternative option. For the cohort of people who arrive in and they are not sure how sick their child is, which Dr. Curtis will be aware is commonly the case, is she saying there will be an equivalent to the service provided by Connolly Hospital and Tallaght Hospital there for a child with a small cut, for example?
