I want to highlight the comments Mr. Green made earlier about us having the best clinicians in the world and the best expertise in this country, which is correct. I do a huge amount of work with the eye care teams, particularly in the Mater hospital, including a lot of advocacy work. In the whole area of eye care, we are the best in the world, and we are the best in the world in a whole series of areas, particularly when it comes to children's care. It would be great to see the blockages that have been discussed this morning cleared. It is a small investment in what is our future and the future of our country.

In response to Deputy Colm Burke, Professor McCormack made reference to the private sector sometimes interfering. Would they like to expand on that?
