Professor Colette Cowan:

I thank the Deputy for his support for the plan. We have submitted our bids for funding. The winter plan is now subject to discussion with the Government. I understand that it will be launched shortly by the Minister for Health. We have a series of engagements that we are lining up with each talk team about both the winter plan and the Deloitte report. We will brief the representatives on all of that locally. We will then be able to tell them more but at the moment we await the Government plan around it and around the funding.
