Ms Rachel Morrogh:

The Deputy asked why does it have to be. It does not have to be. That is a key message we want to get across to members and I am certain they are very aware of it. We need facilities such as diagnostic centres so that services are not being delivered side by side with acute care. We know the pressures the acute system faces but if we had diagnostic centres people could get a diagnosis quicker. Ms Power also mentioned that, thankfully, GPs now have good direct access to diagnostic tests and referrals. We need to ensure that continues.
