I have one final question, because I am aware that I do not have much time. This committee has been engaged with local campaigners who are trying to prevent the closure of the Owenacurra mental health facility. They have highlighted the sparse provision of mental healthcare facilities in east Cork relative to other areas. The report mentions the development of regional health areas to better co-ordinate care. Will these bodies have a role in addressing regional inequalities in service provision?
