I am not sure. The Deputy would have to ask my predecessor why it was stood down. I have ongoing engagement with the national women and infants health programme. There is regular contact across the HSE with regard to the provision of services. The national women and infants health programme is putting in place new reviews to look, for example, at adverse events. Any maternity service in the country, through the annual planning process and the national service plan, has the opportunity to feed in requirements relating to additional capacity, diagnostics, infrastructure, clinicians and so forth. The question of whether any part of the health system has the resources it needs is an ongoing part of healthcare provision in the HSE.
