I thank Ms Mullins. What she has said is powerful. It is important to emphasise that this was a public hospital. This belonged to the local community yet it has been closed without any reference or consultation whatever with the people in the community. They have all stood up together and have collected 11,000 signatures, yet to date they have been ignored. That is why I commend the committee again on bringing the group in. Will Mr. Torpey tell us about the struggle in getting information and anything else he thinks would be valuable?
