James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

The best way to answer that is to say we are working through the plan at the moment. As the Deputy knows, it is quite a complex plan. I hear loudly what he is saying. I only recently heard about a case of a person who was fasting for two and a half days waiting for a procedure. That is just not good enough and that sort of issue cannot be allowed arise again. That also requires a change in management attitude and more real-time information, which is a major issue throughout the health service, a matter to which I will return on one of the other questions.
