Mr. Fintan Hourihan:

The ball is in the Minister's court. Everyone accepts that there needs to be a new scheme. It will take a while to finalise the detail on that. We have proposed a solution which would involve clinics in HSE facilities in the evenings and possibly at the weekends. That is something we have had a number of meetings about, but, fundamentally, the problem with the DTSS is that needs to be replaced by an entirely different system. We are waiting to sit down and go to the table with the Department of Health. That will require the Minister to direct his officials to invite us in.
