We have not got the figures on treatment abroad. In the Cork area, we have a huge number of people still travelling abroad for ophthalmology. What have we done regarding increasing the volume? I know we have opened the new unit in the South Infirmary and there are two new theatres but have we seen an increase in the numbers going through the system as a result of this development? A new service is provided in the primary care centre in Ballincollig as well, but have we seen an increase in numbers going through?
