I thank Ms Grogan.

I will move on to the issue of 24-7 services. We have been hearing about the need for them for a long time. Have there been improvements, particularly in emergency departments where people can turn up in serious distress? Rather than being sent home from emergency departments, are there now referral pathways in many of our acute hospitals? Is progress being made on that front?
