I have said publicly many times I do not believe the reconfiguration was done properly. I fully accept the advice that led to the closing of the EDs but the kinds of resources that are being put in place now should have been put in place back then. That is exactly how we have approached Navan hospital, for example, to say we are not making any changes until the extra capacity is in place.
