Dr. Sara Burke:

The second question, from Deputy Durkan, was on the progress made on the costs versus the vision. We are only at the starting line, even though the Deputy began that discussion on the committee in June 2016. In a way, the appointment of Laura Magahy and the setting up of the Sláintecare implementation office is the starting line. We have been slow to get here, but we have got here. In terms of costs versus vision, Professor Thomas's slide presentation shows that it is doable but it will require more money. However, there has to be political will to fund and make it happen.
