Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Some 50% of people will be inside the Sláintecare waiting time by next year, which is only weeks. The point I am making, however, is that the shorter the time people are on the waiting list, the less likelihood there will be for a validation exercise of that type being required and therefore the less the likelihood of a letter of that type arriving to anyone. Could I promise that did not happen somewhere today? I could not.
