What is the status of the health services' preparations for Brexit? We have discussed this issue in the committee, but I seek clarity on the Minister's thinking on the issue of Ireland's preparations for the impact it could have on our health services here given that Article 50 has been triggered. I instance the treatment abroad scheme and the cross-border health care directive given the number of people who go to Northern Ireland under that directive. The other issue relates to the number of people working in the UK health services who could be discommoded with the withdrawal of the free movement of people.
