I can come to that in a moment. I refer to the position on safety as adjudicated by HIQA and clinicians in my Department. I am seeking to make the location safe and to ensure there is a 24-hour service. It will be an enhanced service from a general practitioner's point of view because one will now be able to have X-rays at night, which was not the case heretofore. The service will be enhanced because people will now know exactly what they are getting. People will not turn up at the hospital having heart attacks in the false belief that they will be looked after in a comprehensive fashion.

Let me quote some statistics for the Deputy.
