My final question is on planning. When you see the HIQA report it is stark about the hospital and the ED. As professionals who work in that environment it is quite embarrassing in some ways. These issues can sometimes be outside the remit of a particular hospital and as I said this goes back to historical cutbacks and so forth. If there was a message our UHL guests wanted to convey to the HSE about the mid-west area generally and addressing the issues there, what would they say to ensure people seeking medical treatment not being treated as well as they should be never happens again?
