I thank Mr. Mulvany.

To be a little bit more parochial, I want to speak about Cork and the plans for a new elective hospital there. It is very important, as an elective hospital is needed in Cork, given the huge demand on the current hospital network and the increasing population. There is a lot of frustration with the delays in progressing the project. I got a reply from the HSE, which was not very encouraging, on the timeline. What is Mr. Gloster's position on the roll-out of a new elective hospital on the site in Glanmire?
