The funding for Ballincollig is from the HSE, not the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital. The building has been completed, but we need funding for the equipment and to get it up and running. Also, obviously additional staff are required as well.
With regard to fast-tracking the waiting lists that exist at present and a co-ordinated approach, and Professor Keegan says that is being done in his area, can we work with other areas to make sure there is the same level of response and delivery within a set timeframe?
