Not at all. HIQA is looking at one question, which is urgent and emergency care in the region, including whether or not there is a case for second emergency department in a model 3 hospital. Sandra Broderick, along with the other REOs, is carrying out a capacity review of her region. That will include how general practice, primary care and radiology are going, and how they are doing in terms of nursing home and rehab beds.
