I will raise two issues with the witnesses on this round of questioning. The first issue is overcrowding in the mid-west, which is catastrophic and the second is matters arising from the RCOG report published last week. A total of 190 extra beds have been promised and 83 were announced recently. How many of those beds are for the mid-west and where are they located? The minor injuries unit and the €75 charge is irrelevant.
