Mr. Damien McCallion:

Briefly, the Reeves Day Surgery Centre in Tallaght has been successful. For most of the day cases, the waiting list has dropped from four years to three months with the exception of some more complex procedures. With the Senator's good news of the announcement, we will put a multidisciplinary group in place to look at how and where we locate these. There are factors to consider. There was a building outside the roundabout in Tallaght, just outside the hospital and it was possible to move that project along at a rapid pace.

That is something, as Mr. Tierney said, we will be focusing on now following that decision from Government. As a model in Tallaght, it is successful and has worked well for them over the past year. They would have had some factors in their favour that enabled them to do that rapidly. We are trying to take the learning from the work that Tallaght did and look at how it would be applied to other sites.
