Before we suspend at the conclusion of this part of our meeting, I thank most sincerely Ms Shirley Coulter, and the three doctors, Dr. Mark Murphy, Dr. Shane Considine and Dr. Grainne O'Kane, in particular, for their presence here today, the articulation of their viewpoints and their willingness to engage with the committee. From a committee point of view, we are concerned about this issue. This is our second meeting on it and we have also issued a report on it. It is an issue about which we are vigilant and in the second half of our meeting we will engage with the HSE. I again thank the witnesses for coming in.
