I will direct my next question to the Irish Medical Organisation. Given events in recent weeks, one of the proposals in the IMO submission relates to the level of suicide in our society and it proposes suicide intervention teams should be provided in hospitals on a 24 hours a day, seven days a week basis. I am from Cork city. Is it proposed that the Mercy Hospital and Cork University Hospital would have teams or is it proposed to have a team per region?
