How do we address the issues that exist in order to prevent their recurrence? I am referring to the considerable overcrowding that is taking place. It is taking place to a greater extent in the regions. The waiting lists are a separate issue.

The overcrowding in accident and emergency departments is taking place specifically in a number of very sensitive locations. The same ones are coming up again and again. How do we address that? We have a national board. Do we have a national service?
