I have a number of questions I wish to pose to Mr. Reid. He might forgive me at the outset for jumping in and out, because I have ten minutes and I have a few issues I want to get through. With regard to the HSE's winter plan, what specific measures are being put in place to cater for the University Limerick Hospitals Group, especially University Hospital Limerick, UHL, and Ennis General Hospital? Statistically, on a multi-annual basis, this has been the hospital group which has been most impacted and adversely affected by patients waiting on trolleys and the pressure that mounts on accident and emergency departments in the winter months. I would like to hear what specific plans there are to address that.
