Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I will deal with that. The Minister's announcement relating to the review by HIQA of adequacy of unscheduled or emergency care provision, particularly emergency department provision in the mid-west, was a decision the Minister made. It was a sensible decision in light of the repeated questions as to why and why not and what is and is not the clinical advice. That will take its course. The Minister is right to say that duplication should be avoided if there is learning to be gleaned. The Senator will recall that, after Christmas, following the report I received into the dreadful death of Aoife Johnston, I commissioned Mr. Justice Clark to assist me with a very complex matter. His report is imminent; I expect it very shortly.
