Mr. Michael O'Flynn:

We encountered this issue in Crumlin because we had to keep investing until we had a new hospital. One cannot stop investing in the structure. For example, the dental hospital is a current requirement, but include that as a catalyst project on the new site instead of trying to extend or build it piecemeal somewhere else. One cannot stop investing, but one must equally have an implementable plan. I cannot stress enough how desperate we are for that leadership decision to be made for the Cork-Kerry-Waterford region. I understand that more than Munster is served by CUH. My colleagues would know more about that.

A point was raised about surgery. It is a major disappointment for us. It was not that there was no effort.
