I thank the Deputies for their comments and acknowledge the presence of Senator Maurice Cummins in the House. All I can say is that I will make sure the Minister is made aware of the concerns raised by the Deputies and of the local feelings that were so clearly expressed. I wish to reiterate the point that, with specific regard to Waterford, the intention is that the hospital will retain its current suite of services, including invasive cardiology, as well as trauma and cancer services. That is an absolute commitment, which is underlined in the text before me. I will ensure that the Minister is made fully aware of the views of all of the Deputies.
