I want to be one of many to offer my congratulations to the HSE, the Minister's office, everybody involved and those present here today for the work done with regard to Covid. It proves what could and should be done at all times. I believe the next phase is how to superimpose that on the health service and deliverance generally. I have not yet heard that confirmation. To what extent does the superimposition of Sláintecare on the health service manifest itself insofar as the patients are concerned? I hear about what we propose to do by the end of the year but we must have some information to go on as to what has been done and what has been put in place regarding, for example, the hundreds of thousands of patients on waiting lists.
