We need to finish up.

Again, I thank the representatives of the HSE for engaging with the committee on the matter of hospital preparedness this winter and the expected seasonal increase in respiratory and other such illnesses. It was a useful meeting with many positive things happening. I wish the witnesses and all their staff well with regard to the challenges they are facing, particularly over the winter period. The committee will be carefully monitoring how the system copes with the public need for access to hospitals over the coming months. We may well be seeing our guests again in two weeks time on the subject of Sláintecare. This meeting is now adjourned until 4 p.m. on 28 November when the committee will meet in private session.
