I need full written replies to them all. How is the HSE board alerted to conditions in all hospitals, accident and emergency departments and whatever in all parts of the regions? In other words, is the chain of command working in two directions, from the ground up and from the top down, or is it just a wait-and-see situation? As was referenced earlier, what happens when cases go wrong? How often are cases going wrong and what are we learning from them? Are we putting in place measures to ensure that they are minimised? That is a separate question and answer as well. I have one last question. What process is in place to ensure we are doing an adequate job in recruiting GPs for the various areas throughout the country, regardless of which region it is? Again, there are numerous cases where we have difficulty replacing GPs, many of whom are retired, but some have left the service and system as well. Those are all of my questions and I need answers to them all.
