Gabhaim míle buíochas leis na haíonna as teacht isteach inniu chun cur i láthair a thabhairt dúinn. I thank the representatives of CAWT for all the work they are involved in. There is an awful lot of common sense with cross-Border partnerships and co-operation. From my perspective, the Border is a threat to health in that it reduces the services that people need - sometimes lifesaving services. Erasing those barriers to services is obviously positive for people.

I am trying to quantify what is happening on a cross-Border basis. We often hear of different services that are available. Of the total health services that exist North and South, what is available on a cross-Border basis? Is there a list of health services that are currently delivered on a cross-Border basis? Is it all the services or are some services missing?
