Okay. At meetings like this, we do not get a sense of the answer to the big question everyone asks, which is whether the system can be fixed. Innovative measures are being taken. Last week, for example, we had people in from University Hospital Limerick, UHL, and they spoke on the big challenge being faced there, relating to senior citizens coming through the emergency department system. We know of the pathway service that has been introduced at Beaumont Hospital and other locations and is being rolled out in different areas. At meetings like this we probably need to hear about schemes that are working as well.
