Mr. Bernard Gloster:
I do not think it is a case of it being built around St. Vincent's. The hospital groups have been split in the new geographical areas, and St. Vincent's is one part of that, but all the other services in the south east remain. There has been investment in Waterford hospital and there is no intention of not investing it in the future in deference to St. Vincent's or anywhere else. That is not the purpose of the regional construct at all.
