I acknowledge and appreciate the Deputy's adequate warning. Let us find a resolution to this before whatever dire events the Deputy alludes to might unfold. Can I suggest this? The Deputy has advocated for this for some time. The Deputy and I have discussed the matter previously. I acknowledge that the system can probably be improved. A lot of the time, the patients and the people looking for this access are already dealing with very serious health issues as well as other issues in their lives because of their health issues. The Deputy has referenced cases several times that sound very worthy of review. By all means anonymise them. If the Deputy was willing to work up these as examples of the system not working, I can certainly undertake to take those and ask the Department and the HSE to use them as an example of times when the system is not working as it must do for patients and we can see what learnings and improvements could be made.
