Ms Anne O'Connor:

We had final meetings with the hospital groups and the community healthcare organisations, CHOs, on 11 October and are now implementing how we will deliver the plan with them. We have finalised how and where the funding will be allocated. We are in discussions with the Department in those regards and the plan is very much at the final stage. It will be published. An emergency taskforce date has been set for a couple of weeks time. The work has been going on and the plan is already being implemented. We are not waiting for publication to begin its implementation.
