I welcome Mr. Reid, Mr. Watt and the team. Mr. Reid spoke about financing, including population-based resource allocation. That always concerns me when it comes to smaller regional communities with dispersed populations. They still have important facilities which need upgrading and ongoing staffing. There are concerns about the plans for Clifden district hospital. Ms Crehan-Roche is involved in reassuring people, but still the rumour mill runs. I ask Mr. Reid about population and finance.
