In addition to getting information on individual medical professionals, we should also look for information on individual hospitals as well. Certain hospitals are frequently mentioned. It is not just about the very large amount of money that would be available to the health service. We rarely hear people coming out of the Four Courts stating that the money was any kind of compensation for what happened. There is a human cost as well and the money gives us a tracker for that.
On a different point concerning the work programme, could we put broadband on the programme? I think it is at the bottom of the list but I do not think it is slotted in. Perhaps I missed that.
