I will go back over the issue about GPs and access to hospital services. One of the concerns that has been raised with me by GPs is the difficulty in getting access to support services. What can be done to try to improve that, in particular where a GP has a patient who needs urgent attention and is trying to get him or her through the hospital system? Does Mr. Moran think much more can be done on that in order that people can be dealt with? I know there were challenges over the past two years with Covid-19 but now we have moved away from that, what improvements can we achieve in that whole area?
