I do not want to interrupt you, but we have a number of other groups coming in . In respect of the Sláintecare report, there is concern among many members of the committee that the pace of implementation of the report is slow. The Government is still looking at it and no actions have been delivered. Will both groups give a brief critical analysis of the report? They said they broadly accepted it, which means there are areas of it with which they have difficulty. I ask Dr. McGarry or Dr. Walley to give their comments on the report. Concern was expressed about visitation rates in the report which may not represent the reality of what is happening.
