Deputy Nolan clearly outlined the difficult position of such patients. I will convey his concerns directly to the Minister, Deputy Reilly. We all want the quickest possible responses to patients in pain or who need care in other ways. The Deputy acknowledged the progress that has been made in various areas. I will convey the issues raised to the Minister and the suggestions Deputy Nolan has made on how to address it, including the special delivery unit. I apologise for not being able to provide a more precise answer as I am not in the Department concerned.
