I appreciate the response. It is an issue of the utmost urgency because, as things stand, if a patient presents to KDoc out-of-hours services this evening he or she will be charged. I do not believe that is good enough. The Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, and Mr. Reid also do not believe it is good enough. That dialogue has to take place with KDoc. In fairness to KDoc it has put forward operations and lack of agreement as the issues arising. This issue needs to be addressed as a matter of utmost urgency and I would appreciate if it could be tackled today.
