Mr. Damien McCallion:

It has only been committed to this year. The site has been selected and the tender is running at the moment. That will offer advantages to people in the mid west and provide that separation from the pressures of the emergency department.

There is a national programme clinical lead for ophthalmology. We have rolled out a model through our chief clinical officer, Dr. Colm Henry, and the strategic programmes office. It is rolling out a care pathway around ophthalmology, which looks at waiting lists across both community and hospital because there are waiting lists in both. We have seen significant improvement in those areas, which have deployed that already. The intention is to advance that further. I do not have all of the detail here, but I can probably agree to share some of that with the Senator and the committee. That is the strategy to try to improve access for ophthalmology services.
