Before we ask Dr. Kelleher to make a final comment, I thank Ms Curtis for bringing this petition to us.

Deputy Buckley referred to having petitions from 600 families. It is easy to get caught up in numbers and pins stuck in boards and maps, but behind every number and every pin is a family member like Dr. Kelleher's aunt. The top level of the HSE needs to start recognising that and that this is not just about moving people around.

I thank our guests for attending. Does Dr. Kelleher have further comments to make?
