Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The lower the uptake of the public-only consultant contract for a hospital of the size and type of Limerick, the longer it takes people like me to drive the type of change I am talking about in the context of a seven-day process. I want to be fair to emergency medicine physicians. Whenever I talk about an emergency department, I talk about the whole hospital because, usually, the problem in the emergency department is a problem that originates in another part of the health service. In simple terms, I would much prefer to see a greater uptake in respect of Limerick.
