I was going to ask about MS and neurological disease but it has been well covered. It will come as no surprise to Mr. Gloster that I am going to ask about University Hospital Limerick, UHL. I know he visited UHL very recently. It is at the top in terms of the numbers of people on trolleys. We see that consistently in the trolley figures of the HSE and the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO. He said in response to Deputy Shortall that for 52% of the people who turn up at accident and emergency departments, that is their first point of contact. I know Mr. Gloster has only been in the job for a couple of months.
