As a representative, the queries I was getting in the first instance related to whether people could get access to treatment, and that got resolved pretty quickly. People were getting access, for example, to injections to the eye - I do not want to get the term wrong - or continuing cancer treatment. Now the questions are about getting access to ongoing diagnostic tests. I am sure Mr. Breslin is aware of that pressure as well. What people are really looking for is that sense of a plan over the coming months. I know Mr. Breslin will be working on it.

We were talking about consultations and the opportunity to do virtual consultations. I was talking about it to Children's Health Ireland earlier. It was talking about parents doing videos, sending those in as consultations and doing a certain amount of diagnostic work, and only then would they have to attend for bloods or other things. There is a great opportunity for innovation at this time as well.

I thank the witnesses for attending and for their work. We will suspend until 4.30 p.m. when we will meet the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Department of Health, and the National Transport Authority on the issue of travel restrictions.
