It is interesting that the Minister is only now looking at that issue. Improvements in transitional care services should have been made a long time ago. There were warnings about all of this when the reconfiguration was carried out against the wishes of the staff. They pointed out what was going to happen and it did. I must also reference my colleague Deputy Maurice Quinlivan who has sought 14 times, on the last count, to engage in a Topical Issue debate with the Minister. The Minister must be an extremely busy man because he has never turned up once, which is regrettable.
