I appreciate the comprehensive enough reply to my question relating to planning for the future provision of a new hospital in Cork. Given that a significant amount of work was done on the report by the group, will the HSE or the Minister comment on the provision of that hospital?

My second question relates to today's HIQA report on St. Finbarr's hospital. In some aspects, the report is very complimentary of the staff and the supports that are given to patients, but it highlights that the hospital is majorly non-compliant in regard to communal space and privacy. What is startling is that the HIQA report states that the response provided by the provider did not satisfactorily address the failings identified and the authority has taken a decision not to publish this response and is considering further regulatory action. Will Mr. Healy comment on that, please?
