I am glad Deputy Paul Murphy made the point about Cuba. It might be worth the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, and the Minister, Deputy Leo Varadkar visiting Cuba to see the health service at first hand to see how services are delivered even though they do not have the resources and they are still being hammered by the United States but that is for another debate.

My question is to ask the Minister if he will provide an update on the cystic fibrosis unit in St. Vincent's hospital. I raise this matter in light of the recent weather, the danger of infection and the fact that cystic fibrosis patients face a significant danger of cross-infection when in hospital. I ask the Minister if the service at St. Vincent's hospital is in a position to cope and if the use of individual rooms is working.
