Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Before I ask Dr. Henry on the clinical side, as recently as yesterday I was in Cork dealing with many issues, this being one of them. It is important to say, and the audit recognises this, that major progress has been made in Ireland in successful outcomes for people with strokes and the response in the first few hours in terms of thrombectomy and so on. The approach that is being taken next year by the Minister is allowing an amount of each region to look at the different places it has deficits. In some cases, that will be in the response to breast cancer compared to their peers. In some areas, it will be stroke. There is always further investment in the health service that is going to support continued improvement.
