I know my colleague Deputy Dolan spoke about how it is actually patients who are benefiting from this. It is working really well in the majority of hospitals. Mr. Flood outlined that in 35 out of 38 hospitals around the country, it works perfectly. Obviously, there are issues and with every scheme in the country, someone is able to figure out a way to contravene it or go against what it is meant to be used for. Can Mr. Flood give me a clinical breakdown of what it was used for in 2023 and in what departments? How many endoscopies or other procedures were there? Can he provide even a generalisation of on what it was spent?
