I have a range of questions for the Minister. It was difficult to watch the "RTE Investigates" programme this week seeing the distress and anguish for people on the waiting lists. It might have been a shock for many people but it was no surprise to many of us who have been raising these issues time and again. I have repeatedly raised with the Minister the issue in Cork University Maternity Hospital, CUMH. In fairness, he visited the hospital in response and in the programme in question he indicated that there are some changes in CUMH management for which he is aiming. I pointed out to the Minister the fact that there is an empty theatre at CUMH that has never been used.
