On dealing with the period between now and when we have the new hospital, I welcome the reduction in the fee for the urgent care centres, which has gone from €100 to €75 to make the service more affordable. We need to focus on expanding the services at Connolly Hospital in the short-term because the reality is that if we have some kind of serious outbreak in the coming months or even next winter before the hospital is ready, we will have challenging outcomes for children.
