I thank Mr. Lawless for his presentation. While I admire him for his passion, his views are his own. The committee does not have any remit to examine the neurological centre at Beaumont. It is examining national health policy. I must point out that the HSE, HIQA and the hospitals referred to are not here to offer a counter view. For fairness and balance, we will have to offer an invitation to them to address the committee on this matter.
