Professor Pascal McKeown:

Yes, but the Nolan report provides us with some background to help develop a new strategic plan. Any strategic plan also needs to be monitored. You cannot just deliver a plan without interpreting what the impact of that is because you want to know there has been value for money for additional investments that have been provided. One of our main requests today is to ensure that Ireland signs up to the EU plan and agrees to develop a national cardiovascular strategy with appropriate infrastructure and funding to allow us to move forward.
