Mr. Paul Reid:

We had a conversation and the Deputy corresponded with me previously. Quite rightly, he raised the issue of the CT scanner. Following a conversation with the committee we progressed and his feedback was welcome. Following the previous committee meeting, we arranged a meeting for the hospital group CEO, the national director, and the chief operations officer of the HSE to meet all of the Oireachtas Members interested in the hospital group. I understand it was a very productive meeting and the hospital group CEO set out the various aspects of what the group is doing.
